ongoing

The Slovak AI Digital Innovation Hub - SKAI-eDIH - is a nation-wide ecosystem coordinated by the Kempelen Institute of Intelligent Technologies in close collaboration with the Centre of Operations of the Slovak Academy of Sciences, Slovak Alliance for Innovation Economy and CIVITTA Slovakia. The hub has a clear focus on artificial intelligence fully aligned with Slovakia’s national strategy in this regard, 2030 Digital Transformation Strategy for Slovakia. SKAI-eDIH is dedicated to 3 main goals: (1) promotion of digital technologies related to artificial intelligence in all its aspects, (2) supporting the SMEs in access to private and EU funding necessary for adoption of all digital technologies, focusing specifically on SMEs in the regions, and (3) development of digital innovation ecosystem. The hub supports mainly SMEs and organisations operating across 3 main value chains: (1) IoT value chain, (2) future mobility value chain and (3) smart health value chain, specializing in manufacturing, transport, energy, greentech, fintech, commerce, ICT, healthcare etc. These companies can benefit from the application of advanced AI tools, Anomaly Detection, Deep Neural Networks, Ethic in AI assessment & regulation, Low Resource NLP, Machine Learning with Limited Data, etc. Using the unique testing infrastructure devoted to accelerated testing environment, companies and public organizations are enabled to increase competitiveness and efficiency through optimization and automation of production processes, cloud services, predictive analytics, anomaly detection, text classification, malfunction prediction, disinformation detection or disease detection from multimodal data. In terms of digital maturity, SKAI-eDIH supports both digital adopters and digital natives, systematically trying to mobilise Slovak companies in the regions to become AI adopters, engaging AI adopters to become AI natives and supporting AI natives with delivery and scaling up of transformative technologies.
