WHAT WE DO -> PROJECTS -> AI4GreenSME
Training of SMEs in AI and Circular Economy
In AI4GreenSME, we empower Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) by developing Artificial Intelligence and Circular Economy skills. We encourage collaboration, lifelong learning, and the ethical use of Artificial Intelligence.
How do we do that?
Through an online training program specially designed for the needs of SMEs that want to enter the digital and green era.
Specifically:
- We define the competencies that SME executives need to cultivate.
- We develop a detailed training program and train SME executives to test it in actual conditions and improve it.
- We create collaborative tools.
- We facilitate professional inclusion.

Training professionals in circular and “green” economy tools.
Improving the impact of SMEs on ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance) indicators.
Skills development of middle-level SME executives.
- Facilitating the transition to the Digital and “Green” Revolution:
Educating professionals and promoting the adoption of their principles.
Applying Machine Learning to Circular Economy Models.
