This Scottish Government partnership programme provides support to help businesses start using artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

You'll learn about the benefits of using AI technologies and get insight into whether your business or social enterprise would benefit from using AI technologies as part of your business activities.

The programme provides:

  • Access to AI-related courses to help you build awareness of AI technologies and leadership capacity for AI adoption
  • Grant support for AI projects
  • Networking opportunities through AI roadshows across Scotland that introduce rural businesses to the benefits of AI
  • Specialist consultancy advice and support that'll help you identify and implement AI project opportunities

The programme will run until 31 March 2026.

The support is delivered by Scottish Enterprise, The Data Lab, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and South of Scotland Enterprise. The organisation you work with will depend on which support is best suited to your business or social enterprise.

Who can apply?

Any small or medium-sized business or social enterprise based in Scotland that is interested in adopting AI technologies.
