AI Acceleration Tour: event for Mid Ulster businesses

This event demystifies AI and brings its transformative potential to life for businesses

Mid Ulster Labour Market Partnership is partnering with the AI Collaboration Centre (AICC) to bring the AI Acceleration Tour to Mid Ulster businesses. 

AI can seem overwhelming, costly, and out of reach for many SMEs. The AI Acceleration Tour aims to break down these barriers by offering practical, expert-led workshops that introduce AI concepts, ethical considerations, and real-world applications tailored for businesses, with no technical background needed. 

Each session is led by AICC’s expert Data Scientists, ensuring attendees receive high-quality, hands-on learning experiences. 

What to expect 

With a maximum of 40 attendees per workshop, participants will engage in interactive sessions covering: 

• What AI really is (and what it isn’t)
• Assessing your business’ AI readiness
• Applying AI responsibly in a business context
• Actionable insights for integrating AI into business operations 

Numbers are limited to ensure meaningful interaction. 

Once you've explored the core AI concepts and practical applications, you'll discover how to access 20 days of fully funded, hands-on support from the AICC’s expert Data Scientists and Applied Researchers through the Transformer Programme. 

You’ll also hear from local support organisations about the funding, resources, and programmes available to help advance your AI journey. 

Who should attend: 

• SME decision-makers exploring AI as a driver for business growth
• Technical operations experts responsible for specifying and procuring AI solutions
• Hands-on professionals looking for practical ways to integrate AI into their workflows 

This workshop is not intended for individuals with moderate to advanced experience or knowledge in AI, Machine Learning, and Data Science.
