BF Digitalks is Business Finland's Digital Native Finland mission's event series where we present different current digitalization phenomena in our events. 

Could your company find a significant international competitive edge by exploring the possibilities of generative artificial intelligence (AI) in your product, service, business model, and/or production methods? This can now be explored using Business Finland's Proof-of-Concept funding (POC), which typically provides a subsidy level of 50 percent to SMEs. The funding call is open until the end of 2024.

The funding is targeted for Finnish small and medium-sized enterprises and Midcap companies (group-level turnover below 300 million euros).

The objective of the project is to study the suitability of generative AI technologies to solve an existing problem. The solutions must significantly enhance the company’s international competitive advantage and exports. The project may aim to significantly renew existing products, services, business models, or production methods, or to develop entirely new ones. 

Join our webinar to gain in-depth insights into Gen AI Proof-of-Concept funding. We’ll share examples of previously funded Gen AI research projects and tell how you can leverage this funding to utilize the LUMI supercomputer in your projects.
