The establishment of an AI Foundry – a technical and organisational platform for the development, training, deployment, and management of AI models in close collaboration with companies, the public sector and researchers at the university – will start in autumn 2025.

The centre is characterised by broad competences in digitalisation, participation, and innovation capacity. We develop and provide knowledge for students, research groups, individual researchers, and not least practitioners active in business and public settings. The centre develops R&D projects and training programmes; it also contributes to the creation of new research projects, educational programmes, and courses. These, in turn, contribute to the creation of innovative methods, models, and artifacts. The Centre for AI Transformation also works to collect, create, and communicate new knowledge to researchers, students, and actors in the business and public sector.

Our services

• The Centre for AI Transformation has a large network of contacts in both the private and public sectors.

• We develop formats for AI innovation, such as innovation sprints, hackathons, and user-driven prototyping
• We offer the opportunity for students and entrepreneurs to come into contact with each other to write essays or complete degree projects.
• We collaborate with AI Sweden (the Swedish National Center for Applied Artificial Intelligence) and the association itSMF. Researchers seeking partners in new research projects have the opportunity to make requests for project participation through the extensive network of itSMF.
