The Regional Secretariat of Economy, through the Regional Directorate for Competitiveness, Innovation and Sustainability (DRCIS), will present the Regional Agenda for Artificial Intelligence for Businesses (ARIA-Empresas) on Thursday, September 17th.
This strategy aims to promote and accelerate the adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) by micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the Autonomous Region of Madeira. The initiative arises in a context where only 9.4% of Portuguese small businesses use AI, a figure below the European average.
ARIA-Empresas sets an ambitious goal to increase the percentage of Madeiran SMEs using AI to at least 25% by 2030, with estimated productivity gains between 15% and 20%. The event will also introduce the "dIArio do Empresário" (Businessman's Diary) and the "Responsible AI Company Madeira" seal.
