It hosts events such as the yearly aiGrunn conference, bi-monthly aiGrunn Café's and many ad hoc activities. It is by and for the community, so it is open and non-commercial.
The aiGrunn ecosystem spans every nook and cranny of AI in the North (and beyond), from deep tech to public sector, from education to creativity. It's a year-round, non-commercial community by and for everyone working with AI. Explore the domains we bring together below.
