CeADAR Membership Programme
Welcome to the CeADAR Membership Programme
CeADAR membership helps companies of all sizes with their AI journey. We support companies to learn, experiment, develop and innovate with AI, while being part of a like minded network of innovative companies and organisations.
Our aim as a national centre is to help Irish businesses to be more innovative, productive and competitive, harnessing the power of the latest AI tools and approaches, while at the same time being compliant with EU law and developing applications that maintain trust with customers and other stakeholders.
To enable this, we have put together a wide offering to allow members to explore the benefits of AI and to access CeADAR’s expertise, learning platforms, compute platforms, funding opportunities, and networking events.
We welcome you to join us on the journey and to help shape not only your own AI future but that of Ireland as well.
