The Finnish AI Region is establishing a new artificial intelligence ecosystem in Finland aimed at boosting the operations of small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) through the implementation of AI-driven automation and digitalization.
This is the monthly Finnish AI Region FAIR newsletter. In this newsletter we share information about upcoming events, service possibilities, case examples and more.
FAIR focuses on delivering expert services related to AI, XR, cybersecurity and high-performance computing in the digital service, smart city and health sectors. The project is co-funded by the EU and Business Finland.
