New Chamber partnership set to turbocharge AI preparation for East Midlands businesses

The East Midlands Chamber has partnered up to assist regional businesses with handling the ever-development presence of artificial intelligence.

The organisation is seeking to ensure firms are ready for any journey they wish to take into AI implementation through the provision of workshops and training sessions having partnered up with a firm which has a base in Nottingham.  The partner firm will share expertise in the IT sector.

East Midlands Chamber Chief Executive Scott Knowles said: “AI is here, it’s here to stay and for the East Midlands to thrive, businesses of all sizes need to be ready, whether they’re already some way into a plan and want to develop it or haven’t yet dipped their toe into the water and want to learn more. No one could conceivably do business these days without a smartphone, and that’s what we’ll say about AI not far from now."

He added that the partnership offered benefits to keeping systems running smoothly and developing bespoke technology for businesses to get ahead and said: “Pairing the resources of the Chamber and the vast insight we have into the challenges our members face, we can collectively deliver truly outstanding support to businesses across the East Midlands and propel their AI journey."

NetMonkeys MD Nick Gall said: “Embracing AI gives businesses not only a protective armour against the changing technological landscape to safeguard success but upskills them with the tools to get ahead of competition.  To date, our story has been about being steps ahead of impending change and that's why we love doing what we do. Our use of AI has resulted in tens of thousands of pounds not only saved but gained!"

“This special AI partnership with East Midlands Chamber will be of huge benefit.  The Chamber is the voice of the business community across the region and is known for the superb support it gives businesses to help them grow. Putting these resources together is very exciting as we all embark on the road to AI. 

“This collaboration with East Midlands Chamber will unlock the full potential of AI implementation, whether it’s a training session for staff at a business or supporting a business with its entire AI strategy, I very much look forward to working together.”
