Full Credential Description

Galvia AI, an international leader in artificial intelligence, has launched its UK operations with a new office in Manchester, aiming to address the challenges faced by small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in leveraging their data. SMEs often encounter difficulties due to siloed systems and limited resources, which hinder their ability to utilize data effectively. To tackle this issue, Galvia has developed trusted technology that integrates data across organizations, unlocking insights that drive improvement and enhance profitability.

Central to Galvia's strategy in Manchester is the Galvia AI Adoption Accelerator, a 5-week program set to launch in September in collaboration with the Turing Innovation Catalyst (TIC) and law firm Addleshaw Goddard. This program is designed to equip SME leaders with a clear understanding of how to manage their data and a strategic plan for integrating AI into their businesses. The Accelerator aims to provide a fast and practical route for SMEs to leverage their data, driving growth through innovation.

The initiative is expected to create significant job growth in the region and reinforce Manchester's position as a hub for AI and digital innovation. Galvia's approach is to make AI accessible to all businesses, emphasizing that it is not just for large tech companies but can provide tangible benefits to SMEs, which are vital to the economy. The success of the AI Adoption Accelerator in Ireland serves as a model for the program in Manchester, with the goal of equipping participants with the knowledge and tools necessary to stay competitive in a rapidly evolving industry.
