RAISE helps young revenue-generating companies use AI to improve
products, services or operations — through expert mentoring,
matched AI suppliers and a structured scaleup programme.

RAISE was created in response to a growing challenge faced by Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) across the Central Baltic region – while artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to transform businesses, many companies struggle to adopt it due to limited expertise, resources and access to trusted AI partners. As digitalisation accelerates, SMEs risk falling behind unless they can successfully integrate AI into their products, services and business processes.
Through expert mentoring, AI matchmaking, cross-border collaboration and co-funding, RAISE helps growth-stage SMEs develop AI-powered products and services, improve competitiveness and unlock international growth opportunities.
