The “AI EDIH Türkiye: AI-Enabled Manufacturing for Twin Transition” consortium, in which TÜBİTAK BİLGEM is a partner, has qualified to join the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) network, one of the key mechanisms of the Digital Europe Program. This process is expected to significantly contribute to the digital transformation of our country’s industry, SMEs, and public institutions.
The consortium, led by the Turkish Employers’ Association of Metal Industries (MESS), is based on the extensive industrial experience and expertise of its members. The project aims to accelerate the digital and green transition, particularly by promoting the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies, considering the low level of digitalization in the high-tech products of Turkish manufacturing sector SMEs.
In this context, TÜBİTAK BİLGEM will contribute to the consortium with its infrastructure and competencies within the Artificial Intelligence Institute, Cloud Computing and Big Data Research Laboratory (B3LAB), and Software Testing and Quality Evaluation Laboratory (YTKDL).

- Turkish Employers’ Association of Metal Industries
