AI EDIH
Driving Force Behind Europe’s Digitalisation
The project
The Hungarian AI EDIH programme aims to help organisations, especially SMEs and public sector institutions, to make the transition to digital processes and operations powered by artificial intelligence. Through academic conferences and professional, hands-on knowledge-sharing workshops, the programme seeks to identify the touchpoints through which AI can be integrated into the everyday life of companies, particularly in the field of manufacturing, retail, and the service sectors such as energy and logistics.
For partners who don’t know where to start, we offer information events and workshops where you can get up-to-date knowledge and answers to your questions from the best experts in the country. They will learn about best business practices and available grant opportunities, as well as the practicalities of implementing artificial intelligence, intellectual property law, ethics, security and sustainability.Partners who are in an advanced stage, digitally mature and have an innovative idea will be supported by project members through personal consultations in accessing the right capital.
The Hungarian AI EDIH programme is expected to run between 2023 and 2026, and is seen as an invaluable opportunity for organisations in Hungary to access the resources and knowledge that will help to foster innovation and drive economic growth in Hungary.

Investment and financial advice for start-ups
We offer investment and financial advice to start-ups in the form of an online, interactive workshop. Participants will get a comprehensive overview of fundraising opportunities, including equity investments, grants and/or soft loans, subsidised loan schemes. Our experts will provide insights into their market experience, current developments and trends, and share useful tips on what is important for investors. They will also help start-ups to prepare for the search for investors, how to attract them, and what forms of financing are realistic and available on what terms. Participants will be able to actively engage and ask questions to the invited financing experts, and receive personalised advice. Through real market examples, the workshop will provide practical knowledge to help them successfully raise funds and make financial decisions.

- The prerequisite for using MI EDIH services is the completion of a digital maturity questionnaire prepared and validated by the European Commission, which customers must complete together with MI EDIH consultants.
- The MI EDIH services are free of charge, but their use is considered a non-refundable subsidy, therefore the “de minimis” limit of the customer is reduced.
