Unlock the Power of AI Through the AI-Assisted Innovation for SMEs Programme

During this valuable programme, you will:

  • Find out how AI can help you to cut costs and boost productivity without the technical jargon
  • Develop an easy-to-follow AI roadmap for your business
  • Be matched with the right innovation support and grants to put your AI plan into action

Your first step is to register for this two-day workshop which will kickstart your AI journey.

What’s Inside the Programme

Delivered by AiPT at Aston University and the Technology Supply Chain, this practical programme offers:

1. AI for Digital and Health Tech Businesses

Attend your custom-tailored two-day workshop from 9:30-4 pm on Wednesday, 25th and Thursday, 26th February at Aston University.

Learn through real-world examples how AI is already solving problems in your sector—and how you can use it

2. Custom AI Roadmaps for Your Business

Every participating company will walk away with their own personalised, expert-crafted AI adoption plan that outlines:

  • High-impact, value-generating AI opportunities to reduce costs, boost productivity and automate laborious processes
  • Quick wins and long-term strategies
  • Clear next steps and available support to move forward

Your roadmap will show you how to move forward step-by-step at the right pace for you.

  • Adding AI functionality to your digital or health tech solution
  • Automating administration and processes
  • Using AI to grow your business

4. Funding-Ready Support

We will help you navigate the complex funding landscape—strengthening your bids for grants and investment from local funding pots, Innovate UK, Horizon Europe, KTPs, and others.
