How do we ensure that groundbreaking AI ideas make their way into real-world applications, quickly and responsibly? The AiNed Innovation Labs are public-private partnerships that accelerate the transfer of knowledge, development, and implementation of AI tools, prototypes and models for businesses. Based on a multi-year thematic agenda, pre-competitive innovation trajectories are funded by AiNed.

Whether you work on smart logistics, digital healthcare, sustainable energy or future industry: in an InnovationLab you work together with partners from the field, supported by experts, infrastructure and funding from the AiNed program.
