How AI-MATTERS works
AI-Matters
AI-MATTERS is a European network of testing and experimentation facilities that aims to strengthen the resilience and flexibility of the European manufacturing sector through the latest advances in artificial intelligence, robotics and intelligent autonomous systems for flexible manufacturing.
What does AI-MATTERS offer?
Our offer
Test and experimentation facilities and infrastructure for validation and demonstration of new concepts and technologies in a realistic production environment.
Services that use infrastructure, technology, know-how and data to address specific use scenarios through collaborative experimentation.
For whom
For technology companies that want to validate and further develop their AI-based solutions in a real production environment and improve them based on feedback.
For manufacturing companies looking to experiment with AI-based technologies, assess their suitability and potential impact before real investment and deployment.
We focus mainly on start-ups, scale-ups and SMEs, but large companies are also welcome.

Steps in cooperation
How does the cooperation with AI-MATTERS work?
What's in it for you?
If you have at least one of the following needs:
✓ Existing technology/solution (AI) at TRL 4 or above and corresponding expertise, or
✓ The need to validate your AI-based product, solution or service in a production environment, or
✓ trying to optimize your production, or
✓ a challenge in the form of a shortage of workers, or
✓ a need or call for quality improvement, or
✓ the need to access relevant use cases or data to achieve TRL-8, or
✓ interest in understanding the potential of a new technology without the need for immediate investment, or
✓ your own relevant use cases or data from your production.
You get at least one of the following:
✓ Access to our facilities and infrastructure to integrate and test your solution in a real production environment
✓ Access to manufacturing plants, use cases and/or data
✓ evaluation and feedback from potential users from production practice
✓ the possibility to improve your solution based on experimental results
✓ Access to technology experts and demonstrators
✓ Proof of concept (including a report) as an output of experimentation
✓ a discount or financial support for testing and experimenting with AI technologies, or for validating your AI solution according to an eligibility assessment
How we enable collaborative testing and experimentation:
AI-MATTERS offers various ways to carry out collaborative testing and experimentation through our Test and Experimentation Facilities (TEF) across Europe:
- Testing technological solutions in production environments in one of our laboratories
- Working with end users to create use cases and generate data to improve and validate technology solutions
- Joint experiments between end-users in production and technology providers
AI-MATTERS focuses on applied research, such as laboratory or industrial technology validation, demonstration, prototype development, build and system qualification.
