Important results from the project
The aim of the project was to create a mapping of the Brazilian landscape in applied AI, where many new institutes have gotten funding in recent times. Based on the mapping, the goal was to develop a roadmap for cooperation between Sweden and Brazil within applied AI; creating a basis for joint research projects as well as for commercially oriented contacts and collaborations between SMEs / Startups and large companies in both countries.
Expected long term effects
The mapping of the Brazilian landscape within applied AI provides good insights for Swedish actors seeking contact with potential Brazilian partners. Through a workshop on Applied AI that was arranged under Sveriges Innovation Weeks, contacts with some institutes have already been taken and planning is underway for online seminars / workshops within applied AI for Smart Cities. A written report compiles the project results.
Approach and implementation
Project work was carried out in four work packages, in a well-functioning collaboration between RISE and CISB, Swedish-Brazilian Research and Innovation Centre. CISB contributed in-depth knowledge of the Brazilian research and funding systems, while RISE contributed experience and knowledge in applied AI as well as insights into the Swedish AI landscape. A matchmaking event was organised by CISB in collaboration with Ignite Sweden.
