AI-ShiftLabs

The AI-ShiftLabs project builds on the previous project ShiftLabs. An established Swedish EDIH – European Digital Innovation Hub and a key player in supporting a sustainable digital transformation in the manufacturing industry. This second phase involves strengthening the scope and impact of the project, with a particular focus on AI, cybersecurity and sustainable digital development.

The ShiftLabs brand is well established in the industry and is further managed through the new project AI-ShiftLabs.

AI-ShiftLabs offers support to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), mid-caps listed companies, and the public sector.

The project is co-financed by the European Union’s Digital Europe Program – DIGITAL and co-financed by Region Norra Mellansverige and Region Västmanland. A confirmation that AI and sustainable digitalization for the manufacturing industry are prioritized areas both internationally, nationally and regionally.

The project work is based on a national structure with five regional nodes that combine academic excellence, industry contact and test infrastructure. Each node consists of a leading university in production research and a technology center that provides services for industry.

The regional nodes are contact points, which act as a – one stop shop – for the different target groups. Here, they easily contact each node and get access to expertise, knowledge and support as well as ShiftLab’s value proposition provided by the network. The services span technologies such as AI, cybersecurity, IoT, AR/VR and robotics in areas such as production, maintenance, logistics and quality where collaboration with the various actors in the innovation system is important for service delivery.
