AIR4S

AIR4S DIH, located in the Region of Madrid, aims at facilitating the access to a multidisciplinary service catalogue able to boost the digital transformation of strategic regional industries and the modernisation of the public administration based on the uptake of AI, Data-driven & Robotics technologies. The project aims at upgrading the activity of AIR4S by implementing its support model specifically designed for facilitating the delivery of AIR4S support services. At the same time, the project looks for increasing the engagement of new regional stakeholders and resources to AIR4S and scaling its support at EU level by developing crossregional collaborations within the Network of European Digital Innovation Hubs, in order to export/import services to/from other EU regions. AIR4S project is strongly encompassed by two main principles: 1.Defense of a sustainable digitalisation of the industry contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG), by seeking a compromise between the social, legal, and ethical codes around AI & Robotics and, the sustainable growth of businesses, in a way that their investment is returned into societal benefits. 2.Contribution to the development of the Data Economy underpinned by the EU Strategy for Data and the DIGITAL Programme. AIR4S has been recognized with the BDVA/DAIRO iSpace Gold Label as the leading data space in the region, which facilitates the access to data testing facilities and connections to EU data spaces and data ecosystems. The project workplan relies on the delivery of 4 types of services: 1) access to AI, Data & Robotics infraestructures and technical expertise for developing test before invest pilots; 2) training and mentoring activities for the improvement of technical and business skills around AI & Robotics; 3) assessment on public and private funding opportunities and, 4) support actions for building relationships within the local and EU innovation ecosystems around the data economy.
