AI Innovation of Sweden has launched its brand new startup program. The aim of the program is to support startups who want to learn more about AI, to connect AI startups to new partners and investors, and to fully integrate AI startups as full partners to AI Innovation of Sweden, providing them with the full offer of services, infrastructure and networks.

The clusters within the international innovation network EUREKA are now for the first time teaming up in a call for proposals focusing on artificial intelligence. The initiative is a unique opportunity for Swedish industry and academia to cooperate with leading international actors within areas related to AI.

Launching the course AI for leaders in the public sector, the goal is to reach at least 800 politicians, managers and leaders in municipalities, regions and authorities by 2021. The training aims to effectively and inspiringly educate the target group, bringing Sweden closer to the goal of becoming the best in the world at realizing the possibilities of artificial intelligence.

The Swedish Innovation Agency, Vinnova, will give public sector the possibility to quickly get expert opinions on potential AI projects. The initiative aims to offload public organisations in the strained situation that has occurred as a result of the Corona crisis. AI Innovation of Sweden and the Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions are assisting Vinnova in implementing the initiative.

The Corona pandemic that has hit us has created the biggest crisis in modern times. Most of the world has been affected and we must act now and use every conceivable force to help solve the crisis. To meet this huge challenge, Hack the Crisis Sweden, a digital hackathon, will be organized on April 3-6, 2020, with the aim of bringing all good forces together to contribute to beating this pandamic.

The aim of the new call from Vinnova, "Staff exchange for applied AI research", is to accelerate the shared knowledge in AI research by offering funding for exchange of staff between countries. AI Innovation of Sweden wants to support this call by supporting connections between companies/organizations who want to establish long-term international collaborations.

The law that relates to the collaborative project is a major challenge, and in the context of AI-related projects, it becomes all the more complicated.
