University of Manchester
The University of Manchester (UoM) are providing technical support to help SMEs in the region to develop their AI and cyber security capability. The UoM technical team are part of our research software engineering team and have experience in a broad range of data science and AI applications.
The technical team will help to connect companies with academic researchers from Manchester’s Institute for Data Science and AI (IDSAI). Within IDSAI we have AI experts from the University’s Centre for AI Fundamentals, Centre for Robotics and AI, and National Centre for Text Mining (NaCTeM).
As well as providing technical support, UoM will also host workshops to support small companies and will invite companies to join larger events such as our annual IDSAI conference.

We are very pleased to be able to contribute to this project, leveraging the University of Manchester’s AI and cyber security academic expertise to increase the capability of SMEs in the region. We’ve previously been working with the other project partners through the AI-Foundry project and the CDI provides a natural continuation to those activities.
