\nAttention, SMEs and NRW! Starting August 17, 2026, applications for the “Impuls.KI” funding program can be submitted. The maximum grant is \u20ac25,000! <\/p>\n

Funding is available for consulting and testing services related to artificial intelligence. These include, in particular: <\/p>\n

\u2022 Identifying company-specific areas of application and developing goals for the use of AI<\/p>\n

\u2022 Defining and prioritizing specific use cases, taking into account the company\u2019s technical and organizational requirements<\/p>\n

\u2022 Structures and processes for the efficient management of AI<\/p>\n

\u2022 Structures and processes for the responsible use of AI<\/p>\n

You can find the link to apply here: https:\/\/lnkd.in\/dFQ8ydEQ<\/p>\n

In my opinion, this is a great program that\u2019s coming at just the right time. I\u2019m afraid, though, that the funds will run out quickly, so I\u2019d recommend that everyone familiarize themselves with the details now! <\/p>\n
