AIRISE Open Calls

support to get you going

Our Open Calls are your opportunity to get going with AI-in-manufacturing through funding and expert support. The main aim of these calls is to initiate cooperations where you post your idea or your challenge and we bring experts to the table. All of these calls ask for ideas that facilitate manufacturing either for ecology, for efficiency, for resilience or just to make people's life better. The aim is to teach and to connect so that new solutions can evolve that make you more competitive.
