Our Strengths
AIR-Andalusia is built on a solid combination of strategic alignment, European cooperation and ecosystem technical capabilities, enabling it to act as a reference European Digital Innovation Hub (EDIH) in Andalusia in the fields of artificial intelligence, robotics and advanced digital technologies.
AIR-Andalusia carries out its activities aligned with European and regional smart specialisation priorities, contributing to the objectives of the Research and Innovation Strategy for Smart Specialisation (RIS3) of Andalusia and to the framework of the Digital Europe Programme.
This alignment ensures that the hub’s services and activities address real challenges of the productive sector and the public sector, maximising the economic and social impact of digital transformation.
Collaboration with other DIHs
AIR-Andalusia maintains an active collaboration strategy with other Digital Innovation Hubs (DIHs and EDIHs), strengthening the regional, national and international dimensions of the ecosystem.
Andalusian level
Collaboration with other regional hubs, such as AgroTech EDIH, to address specific sectoral challenges and foster territorial synergies.
National level
Cooperation with reference hubs and consortia in other Spanish regions, with proven experience in digital innovation, including agreements with entities such as Basque EDIH, DIGIS3 EDIH (Castilla y León) and the Digital Innovation Hub in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics for Sustainable Development Goals (Madrid).
International level
Active participation in European networks of DIHs and EDIHs, collaborating with hubs from other countries on joint digitalisation, innovation and internationalisation strategies, of relevance to the Andalusian digital innovation ecosystem.
Technical capabilities and unique infrastructures
