AI Innovation in Northern Ireland: Insights from AICC Workshop at Ormeau Business Park

We are pleased to share that Ormeau Business Park recently hosted an informative workshop on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in collaboration with the Artificial Intelligence Collaboration Centre (AICC). The AICC is being led by Ulster University in partnership with Queen's University Belfast. The event brought together local companies including Sensoteq, CADshare, DENOTEC, Khaula Bhutta Inclusive Law, Jetpack Learning and IntrinsicAi.

Jun Liu provided practical insights into AI and machine learning applications, presenting case studies that demonstrated how data-driven approaches can benefit various industries. His examples offered tangible ways for businesses to consider implementing AI in their operations.

Patrick McGirr's presentation on the AICC was particularly helpful. He outlined the initiative's goals to support AI adoption in Northern Ireland, including the offer of up to 20 days of Data Scientist support for SMEs. We also learned about AI courses and postgraduate scholarships available through Queen's University Belfast and Ulster University, which could help address the skills gap in our region.

The Q&A session allowed attendees to explore how these technologies might apply to their specific business challenges. It was encouraging to see the exchange of ideas between academic experts and industry professionals.

This workshop provided valuable information for businesses considering AI adoption. The AICC, supported by Invest Northern Ireland and Department for the Economy NI, seems well-positioned to assist local companies in exploring AI technologies.

Thank you to our knowledgeable speakers, and to all the businesses who participated. We appreciate the AICC team's efforts to foster AI growth in Northern Ireland.

We look forward to seeing how these initiatives develop and potentially benefit our local business community.
