SBIR Call Artificial Intelligence for Public Services
This is a call for companies to develop innovative and new products for the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the public sector. Deadline for submitting a quotation is 3 June 2019.
On 10 April, RVO, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Justice and Security have opened a new SBIR call for Artificial Intelligence. The goal of this SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research) is to stimulate and strengthen the power of innovation in the public domain around the AI-theme. With this call, they would like to stimulate companies to develop products and services for the government, with the aim of governments making more and better use of artificial intelligence. The connection between the technological solution and the possibilities of application for a public party are very important. The combat of the societal challenge is at the center; not the technology. There are many opportunities in the domain of safety and security. AI can be used in other areas as well, such as public space, the social domain, education, etcetera. At the end of this trajectory companies develop and test prototypes in an experimental garden.
