How AI-MATTERS works
AI-Matters
AI-MATTERS is a European network of testing and experimentation facilities that aims to increase the resilience and flexibility of the European manufacturing sector, by deploying the latest developments in AI, robotics and intelligent, autonomous systems for flexible production.
What does AI-MATTERS have to offer?
Our offer
Testing and experimentation facilities and infrastructure to validate and demonstrate new concepts and technologies in a “real-world” manufacturing context.
Services where infrastructure, technology, knowledge and data are leveraged to address specific use case scenarios via collaborative experimentation.
For whom
Technology companies that want to test their AI-technology solutions in a real-world manufacturing context, and mature / improve their solutions based on feedback.
Manufacturing companies to experiment with AI-technology solutions, evaluate suitability and potential impact of these technologies before factual investment and deployment.
Our focus is on start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs but large companies can also be involved.

Steps in collaboration
What does using an AI-MATTERS service look like?
What's in it for you?
If you have at least one of the following:
✓ Existing (AI) technology / solution (TRL 4 and above) and relevant expertise, or
✓ A request to validate your AI-based product, solution, or service in a manufacturing context, or
✓ A desire in optimizing your production, or
✓ A challenge in personnel shortage, or
✓ A need or challenge to improve your quality, or
✓ A need for access to relevant use cases or data to mature your product up-to TRL-8, or
✓ A need to understand how new technology could be applied to address your interest without the need to invest, or
✓ Relevant use case or data from your production environment.
You get at least one of the following:
✓ Access to our facilities and infrastructure, to integrate and test your solution in a real-world manufacturing context
✓ Access to manufacturing companies, use cases and/or data
✓ Evaluation and feedback from potential manufacturing users
✓ Opportunity to mature your solution based on the results of experimentation
✓ Access to technology experts and demonstrators
✓ Proof of concept (including report) as a result of experimentation
✓ Discount or financial aid for testing and experimenting with AI technology or validating your AI solution, based on an eligibility check
How we enable collaborative testing and experimentation:
AI-MATTERS offers several ways to enable testing and experimentation in a collaborative manner, using our testing and experimentation facilities (TEFs) allover Europe:
- We provide testing of technology solutions on manufacturing set-ups in one of our labs,
- Creating uses cases and generating data from manufacturing end-users to improve and validate technology solutions, and/or
- Setting up collaborative experiments with manufacturing end-users and technology providers.
Herein, AI-MATTERS focuses on doing applied research such as technology validation in a lab or a relevant industrial environment, technology demonstration, system prototyping, system completion and qualification.
