AI Foundry
The Greater Manchester AI Foundry was a research and innovation project that provided support to SMEs in Greater Manchester to utilise Artificial Intelligence - this project has now ended.
The University of Salford offers support and expertise in the application of AI and Data Science. The AI Foundry programme covered:
- Business Engagement: to increase the capacity and awareness of business owners and key decision makers regarding the benefits of AI and Data Science.
- Business Strategy Programme: a structured, needs-based assessment and business development programme to make best use of current and emerging AI research.
- A programme of workshops on Innovation that helped SMEs explore market opportunities, gain familiarity with innovation cycles, rapid innovation methods, and AI prototyping.
- Technical Support Programme: companies benefitted from a research based, technical intervention to develop a new product or service.
Our partners
