Skellefteå Co-creation Hub and Umeå University invite you to an inspiring afternoon where research meets business!
We welcome small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Skellefteå region who are curious about how artificial intelligence (AI) can create real value in their business. Join us to gain insights, explore practical examples, and discover opportunities to work with AI – whether you're just getting started or already on your way.
12:00–13:00 | Inspiration Talk: AI Simulation in Practice
Frank Dignum, Director of the TAIGA AI Network at Umeå University, will present a groundbreaking example of applied AI – the AI simulation at Tomtebostrand. Using advanced models, the project simulates developments and behaviors in complex environments, offering new opportunities for innovative planning and informed decision-making.
13:00–15:00 | Coaching & Workshop: AI Solutions for Your Challenges

🙋 Who should come:
