AI at Work for SMEs in Västerbotten

AI at Work for SMEs in Västerbotten provides small and medium-sized enterprises with an accessible path into AI through training, peer learning, and practical exercises. By lowering the barriers to AI adoption, employees strengthen their knowledge, confidence, and ability to develop new ways of working.

AI at Work is an initiative for small and medium-sized enterprises that want to take the next step in their digital journey. Through AI training, networking, and development sprints, companies gain practical knowledge, confidence, and tools to use AI in everyday work.

Learning and skills development

Many companies find AI complex and difficult to access. That’s why we offer a practical introduction to AI, developed by researchers at RISE and tested with hundreds of leaders. The training is designed to:

  • Lower the barriers to AI adoption.
  • Provide concrete examples of how AI can streamline daily tasks.
  • Strengthen employees’ knowledge and digital competence.

Practical benefits for companies

By joining the project, your company will gain:

  • Tools for innovation and new ways of working.
  • Increased competitiveness through digitalisation.
  • Access to expert support and peer learning with other companies.
  • Opportunities to test AI solutions in tailored development sprints.

Regional development and sustainability

The project contributes to a more sustainable and inclusive digitalisation across Västerbotten. With both physical and digital meeting places, we create stronger networks and knowledge-sharing, ensuring that even rural businesses gain the same opportunities.

Why participate?

Small and medium-sized enterprises taking part in AI at Work are equipped for the digital workplace of the future. It’s not only about technology – it’s about building long-term learning, confidence, and growth throughout the company.
