Info webinar on a funding call for cutting edge AI projects

Artificial intelligence has entered a phase defined by agentic AI, multimodal AI, and physical AI. At the same time, new AI-native business models are emerging and changing the global business landscape. These trends offer opportunities for Finnish growth companies to build scalable, globally competitive offerings where intelligence, automation, and data-driven services form the core of growth and monetization.

Funding call for ambitious R&D projects – Business Finland's Generative AI program is launching a funding call for ambitious R&D projects focusing on cutting edge AI (call open 3.2.-15.4.2026).

The aim of the call is to initiate forward-looking AI projects that enable companies to achieve significant leaps in productivity, competitiveness, and capability to create customer value. BF wants to fund bold and ambitious projects that aim to transform the company’s operations and products and challenge the business logic of its industry.

To support this, we warmly welcome you to join our info session for the funding call. We will provide you more information about the call and its criteria, and you will also have the chance to ask questions!
