Overview

Transform your organisation with AI and discover how artificial intelligence can drive innovation, efficiency and growth.

Join the TU RISE IADT Elevate Programme for a practical three-part workshop series designed to help organisations understand AI, identify opportunities within their own business, and develop a roadmap for responsible AI adoption.

This interactive programme combines expert-led workshops with guided activities, enabling participants to apply what they learn directly to a real product or process challenge within their organisation.

Who Should Attend?

This programme is designed for:

• SMEs and enterprise organisations
• Business leaders and decision-makers
• Innovation, digital transformation and operations teams

No advanced technical knowledge is required.

What You'll Learn

Throughout the programme, participants will:

• Develop a practical understanding of AI capabilities, limitations, and risks.
• Assess your organisation's AI readiness and identify knowledge gaps.
• Understand how your AI strategy relates to GDPR, Data residency and Ownership, and the EU AI act.
• Explore how AI can be integrated into existing business processes.
• Understand practical implementation and adoption strategies.
• Reflect on AI governance, safety and responsible deployment.
• Leave with actionable plans tailored to your organisation.

How the Programme Works

The programme consists of:

• Three interactive workshops (1.5 hours each)
