AI at Work for SMEs in Västerbotten

AI at Work is an initiative for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in Västerbotten that want to take the next step in their digital journey. Through a free digital training consisting of three sessions of two hours each, companies gain practical knowledge, confidence, and tools to use AI in everyday work. The training will be offered in two rounds: autumn 2025 and spring 2026.

Learning and Skills Development

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

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

Practical Benefits for Companies

By joining the project, your company will receive:

  • Tools for innovation and new ways of working.
  • Increased competitiveness through digitalization.
  • Access to expert support and knowledge exchange with other companies.
  • The opportunity for a select group of companies to test AI solutions in tailored development sprints.

Regional Development and Sustainability

With both digital and local meeting places, knowledge and inspiration spread across Västerbotten, strengthening individual companies as well as the region’s overall development.

Why Participate?

AI opens up new opportunities for companies to work smarter, more efficiently, and more sustainably. AI at Work gives SMEs in Västerbotten the tools to turn this potential into practice.
