Aim

The AI innovation hub addresses:

Small and Medium Enterprises

  • It provides access to computing resources
  • It provides expertise developed within UNIWA
  • It provides data security for the duration of the use of the platform
  • It provides training / consultancy services

Researchers

  • It provides access to computer resources and ready-made libraries which will be gradually developed and enriched by the participants.
  • It provides a direct link to the market, through the provision of expertise to SMEs, for the exchange of information and knowledge between stakeholders, as well as the dissemination and exploitation of results to the market and society. The latter includes the creation of spin-offs, as well as the dissemination of a research result in any business model.
  • In the case of spin-offs, the UNIWA AI Innovation Hub will be able to support researchers in knowing the market situation and being better able to assess the penetration potential of a solution.

Students

  • Education and training in cutting-edge technologies
  • Market knowledge in which they will be invited to join
  • Enhancing and maximizing career prospects

Society

 

The wider community of West Attica will benefit as:

  • a large number of SMEs are active in West Attica, and
  • the development of the UNIWA AI Innovation Hub is expected to attract new SMEs and new staff.

 

In addition, the neighbouring municipalities of West Attica will qualify in the design, implementation, testing and evaluation of new products and solutions, resulting in their technological and wider socio-economic, cultural and ecological recognition, as it is currently the case with the city/municipality of Trikala, Greece.
