UTAS is putting together a consortium of ICT companies and related businesses that might be interested in buying into an AI 4 Regions Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) which is being run out of the University of Adelaide. There is an opportunity to receive matched federal funding for any AI or similar research which UTAS could do on your behalf. For example, you could have $20k to spend on interpreting some large data set you have and this would mean UTAS could spend $40k worth of time on researching ways to use AI to solve it. There will be a Smarter Regions workshop on 16 March in Launceston for potential partners based in the North and North-West and if TasICT members would like to attend, use the link on the right to register and use the password: SmarterRegions2020
