Software and AI Transformation Platform (SAIP)

The project establishes a demand-driven and inclusive platform where businesses, the public sector, academia, students, and regional communities come together for knowledge exchange, collaboration, and shared learning. The core of the initiative consists of a recurring Software Unconference, complemented by seminars and workshops that create continuity and enable stepwise AI transformation within participating organizations.

By combining research-based knowledge with practical experience, the project aims to strengthen digital competence, innovation capacity, and organizational transformation capabilities. Particular attention is given to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and other organizations with limited resources to independently keep pace with the rapid development of AI. In the long term, the project is expected to contribute to enhanced competitiveness, improved competence provision, and sustainable regional development in a sparsely populated region.
