Our Services
Software development teams don’t need general AI training—they need specific tools, expert guidance, and a community where others are working on the same things.
You can build a package from six service options to meet your team’s needs: practical knowledge and best practices for day-to-day development work, methodological and technical support for implementing AI projects, industry partners and use cases for faster validation, guidance on regulatory and compliance issues, and business and strategic assistance to turn technology into a product.
Free of charge for companies registered in the program. Who is eligible?

Regulatory and Compliance Support
We provide guidance and expert advice on the AI Act, data protection, and intellectual property to ensure that developments comply with legal requirements.
Today, the implementation of AI solutions is no longer just a technological issue, but also a significant regulatory and compliance challenge. We help SME software developers navigate the increasingly complex landscape of the AI Act, data protection, copyright, and security.

- átlátható, támogatott folyamatot nyújtani minden érintett cégnek
Why is regulatory compliance important?
Regulatory support ensures that AI solutions not only function properly but also comply with rapidly changing legal and ethical requirements—thereby protecting the company, its customers, and the long-term sustainability of the product.
-
AI Act Compliance
Personalized consulting support for SME software developers, designed to help them understand AI-related regulations (the AI Act, data protection, copyright) and implement the necessary compliance measures. This service does not constitute legal advice.
