AI Adoption Accelerator Programme
A unique collaboration between Tech West Midlands and AND Digital; lowering the barriers to entry for AI adoption in West Midlands manufacturing
About the programme
A 12-week AI Adoption Accelerator in summer 2024 that helped West Midlands manufacturers harness the benefits of AI
The West Midlands Digital Roadmap outlines a mission for the next three years - to boost productivity and outputs in the region through the adoption of digital technologies like AI. But many SMEs and micro-businesses face financial, time and talent barriers to embracing new technology, leaving them a step behind.
Over 12 weeks (from June to September 2024), the AI Adoption Accelerator equipped businesses in the West Midlands - free of charge - with the practical knowledge, tools and connections they needed to transform their business with AI.
The AI Adoption Accelerator was delivered by AND Digital, in collaboration with TechWM. 
Programme outcomes
By the end of the Accelerator, participants had:
- A clear understanding of AI problem statements and priority target areas
- A real-world AI Proof of Concept
- A robust AI enablement strategy to scale from PoC to business-wide adoption
- An expanded knowledge of how to navigate and maximise opportunities in the market
- A network of like-minded businesses and local developers to support their AI adoption journey
