Motivation

Startups have a key role to play in the dissemination and appropriation of AI by all economic actors. Specialized in specific technologies, sectors or use cases, they make available the most advanced state of an AI solution for a given application. Corporate companies, but also SMEs can thus have access to the most appropriate solution for their situation. In return, startups will be able to refine their value proposition on the basis of new concrete business applications and new data sets.

To implement this virtuous circle, the first step is to make AI capacities of startups more visible. This is the whole point of this mapping work, which should enable those seeking AI solutions to see more clearly in the range of solutions available to them. Investors may also find this mapping useful.

AI is transforming all sectors of the economy and mastering AI solutions is the condition of economic sovereignty. Taking into account the extremely intense competition in this field at the global level, the European scale is the one that enables us to combine competitiveness and sovereignty. This is the whole point of this European landscape initiated with our German and Swedish partners, we invite other European partners to join in.
