Thursday, 29th February marked the beginning of the two day inaugural kick-off meeting for the new Artificial Intelligence flagship European project, DeployAI. 

The meeting took place in Berlin (Germany), and gathered all 28 partners of the project, from 13 different European countries, with a balanced account of public and private organisations, diverse expertise and resources to drive the project! 

Backed by a €28 million funding from the European Commission, this initiative signifies a collaborative effort to shape the future of AI deployment in Europe.

Project coordinator Joachim Köhler, Head of Department at Fraunhofer Institute for Intelligent Analysis and Information System IAIS, said: We are excited to unveil DeployAI and its transformative potential in driving the adoption of trustworthy and ethical AI solutions across Europe. With the AI on Demand Platform, we aim to democratise access to AI technologies, especially access to European GenAI models and tools to ensure digital sovereignty in this strategically relevant technology area. 

For the next four years, our array of highly motivated and skilled professionals aim to revolutionise the accessibility to AI solutions across Europe for SMEs and the public sector.
