Procedure

As part of the Fit 4 AI programme, the company selects a consultant who carries out an in-depth analysis of the company's potential for implementing AI solutions. This assignment, with a maximum duration of 6 months, will result in a structured report including:

• a sectoral assessment (if necessary) and the identification of relevant use cases;
• an analysis of the technologies, regulatory compliance (GDPR, AI Act), cost, ROI and risks;
• a detailed roadmap for implementation (timetable, human and material resources).

The company is free to follow all or part of the recommendations. Luxinnovation then assists, if necessary, with:

• the implementation of the action plan;
• the identification of sources of financing; or
• referrals to appropriate training courses, partners or support programmes.
