A recent survey by POM Limburg in collaboration with DataSynergy revealed that 83% of Limburg companies currently use at least one AI application. AI is primarily popular as a tool for daily work, such as image and content creation, but its use for process automation remains more limited.
To promote the integration of AI within Limburg's SME landscape, POM Limburg, with the support of the province of Limburg, is launching the AI innovation fund. Selected projects will receive financial backing from the fund.
The fund targets SMEs in the manufacturing, logistics, healthcare and life sciences, construction, and energy sectors. The focus is on innovative AI solutions such as advanced data analysis, pattern recognition, and AI-driven simulations and digital twins.
It also encourages the use of specialized AI computing infrastructure, such as the Limburg AI Research Accelerator (LARA), which provides companies and researchers with additional computing power.
SMEs can submit their projects until Friday, January 8, 2027, at 23:59.
