AI-MATTERS is a European network of test and trial facilities. The aim is to strengthen the resilience and flexibility of the European manufacturing sector – by using the latest developments in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics and intelligent and autonomous systems for flexible production.
We provide test and trial facilities to validate and demonstrate new concepts and technologies in a realistic production context.
We offer individual services in which infrastructure, technology, expertise and data are brought together to test specific application scenarios as part of collaborative experiments.
For technology companies that want to test and further develop their AI-based solutions in a real production environment – based on concrete feedback from the field.
For manufacturing companies that want to test the use of AI technologies and evaluate their suitability and potential benefits before investing in their implementation.
Our focus is on start-ups, scale-ups and small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). However, larger companies can also be integrated.
Simply fill out our contact form and we will put you in touch with the right partner from our network.

AI-MATTERS offers various ways to implement tests and experiments together with our European TEFs (test and experiment infrastructures):
For example, by testing technology solutions in one of our labs,
the joint development of use cases and the generation of relevant data by manufacturing companies,
and through collaborative experiments between technology providers and end users from industry.
AI-MATTERS focuses on applied research: from the validation of new technologies in the laboratory or in industrial environments, through demonstration and system prototypes, to system integration and qualification.
