Objective

The AI Scalers project supports AI development in SMEs with a new concept that combines an initial assessment, training, and an AI maturity analysis.

Key stages

Initial assessment and training: Analyse the company’s business needs, goals and current state of AI use.

AI maturity analysis: Carry out the analysis and select the use cases and development team.

Implementation of AI solutions: Develop and implement an AI solution up to Proof-of-Concept level and into a business pilot.

Benefits for companies

A clear understanding of how AI can be leveraged.

Readiness for future AI projects.

Cooperation with Haaga-Helia and Metropolia Universities of Applied Sciences, making use of Metropolia’s GDPR-certified AI development environment.

The development models created in the project will be compiled into a handbook that lowers the threshold for other companies to launch their own AI projects.

More information about the project

Metropolia University of Applied Sciences’ website serves as a public information page for the basic details of the project. The main communication channel, however, is the project’s own website at www.aiskaalaajat.fi, where up-to-date news, events, results and publications are collected. The project will include a wide range of events, all of which can be found on this website.

The project’s activities and progress can also be followed actively on LinkedIn, where updates, articles and participant perspectives on the project’s actions are shared regularly. Social media also functions as an interaction channel between different stakeholders and the wider audience. More information about the project and its implementation can also be found on the co-implementer’s website.
