EDIH HOPERO

(introductory article about EDIH | Have you heard of the acronym EDIH?)

 

As previous EDIHs, Hopero also helps SMEs and institutions to take digitalisation to the next level. It connects and develops companies and public organisations through training and independent advice on the use of AI and financing. Artificial intelligence helps in various areas of process automation, relieving routine work and giving the opportunity to focus on strategic tasks. It also makes it possible to analyse large amounts of data faster and more efficiently, to uncover trends or hidden information, facilitating decision-making based on factual data or predicting future events. By processing and evaluating customer behaviour, it can create personalised marketing.

 

The mission of the Hopero Hub is to create a link between AI opportunities and its use in companies or public organisations. The first step in the hub’s collaboration with a business is to assess the digital maturity of that business. Then, with the cooperation of experts from the hub and the enterprise, areas in which the enterprise can develop further are set.
