AI & Robotics Estonia (AIRE)
The University of Tartu participates in the activities of the AI & Robotics Estonia (AIRE) centre. The AIRE consortium aims to support Estonian small and medium-sized (SME) manufacturing businesses on their journey of digitisation by offering artificial intelligence and robotics solutions. All AIRE services are aimed at legal entities and are free of charge or based on de minimis aid*.
The University of Tartu supports AIRE's goals by contributing to services that promote industrial collaboration and sharing expertise.
- In cooperation with the University of Tartu Institute of Technology, the Institute of Computer Science offers diverse courses covering broad topics from data science and artificial intelligence to software development. Our courses are primarily intended for companies in the manufacturing sector; however, all interested in developing their skills and knowledge in modern technologies are welcome to the free webinars.
- The Institute of Computer Science also hosts AIRE Clubs, networking events where entrepreneurs, researchers, investors, and other interested parties come together to share best practices, experiences, and ideas and to find new opportunities for cooperation. It is a free and relaxed environment that encourages knowledge-sharing and networking. Thanks to our membership in the European Digital Innovation Hubs network, we can also support Estonian manufacturing companies in finding international cooperation partners.
- The University of Tartu Institute of Computer Science and Institute of Technology helps small and medium-sized manufacturing companies solve challenges related to production processes with the help of demo projects by offering innovative artificial intelligence and robotics solutions. These projects based on de minimis aid are an ideal opportunity to test the commercial value of a solution before making a large-scale investment.
We are committed to promoting business cooperation and the spread of knowledge both in the industrial sector and in society at large, and participation in the AIRE consortium is one way we can achieve this goal.
*The Artificial Intelligence and Robotics centre AIRE (EDIH) is financed by the European Union from the European Digital Innovation Hubs subprogram of the Digital Europe Program (project no.: 101083677). and the Estonian Ministry of Economic Affairs and Communications
