AI BIZ Kick-off meeting

The AI BIZ kick-off meeting was held in Valencia (Spain) on 30-31 May 2024.

The main goal of the project is to support SMEs implementing Artificial Intelligence tools in their daily practices, thus enhancing their efficiency and performances.
To do this, the project wants to achieve the following concrete objectives:

• To improve awareness of SMEs on the benefits of integrating AI tools in their daily practices
• To improve knowledge, skills and competencies of SMEs’ managers and workers on how to implement and leverage AI technologies in their daily practices

During the meeting, the partners had the opportunity to present their organisations and define the work plan for the coming months.

The topics discussed were as follows:

• Project Overview and Results, with a focus on the first project activity, namely the production of the Toolkit that will provide SMEs’ managers and workers with contents, materials and tools on how to properly access, use and integrate AI tools in their working practices.
• Project Dissemination and Expected Outcomes.
• Administrative and supporting documents that are required for successful project management and reporting.

The partnership will now be engaged in conducting a local focus group aimed at local experts in AI and company management that will highlight the most relevant and common topics, contents and tools on how to implement AI tools in the partner countries.
