The aiGrunn ecosystem brings together developers, businesses, researchers, educators, and policymakers from the AI community to share ideas, innovation and inspiration. 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.
Join 1000+ professionals at the North's biggest AI gathering.
The aiGrunn Café is a get-together of the North's brightest minds in AI. It's an evening of real-world AI use cases, sharp discussions, and hands-on experiments with fellow pioneers from the region.
Join us as we expand into a city-wide celebration of AI innovation. aiLand, held at the heart of Groningen, brings together the regional AI ecosystem: solution providers, funding opportunities, AI hubs, and education.
Explore Forum Groningen for paper sessions and our AI Tools in Education event. One day, endless excitement!
