Of our previous demonstrator projects, those focusing on highlighting and exploring emerging technologies have been particularly popular with our industry partners. These include projects introducing Blockchain, Deep Learning and Reinforcement Learning, for example. Following this success, CeADAR decided to refresh the demonstrator projects programme with a brand new programme called the Lighthouse Project Programme for the next round of projects.

Education

Develop an Understanding
of “What’s Possible”
Cater both to our partners that are more advanced in terms of AI expertise and adoption, as well as less mature companies
