Foundation for Industry (FIND)

The "Foundation for Industry" (FIND) project brings together 5 universities with 10 labs, 11 Dutch companies, ranging from start-ups to multinationals, and 2 knowledge institutes to pave the way for a new wave of AI-based automation that helps the Dutch industry strengthen and keep its international competitive advantage as a leading high-tech nation in the AI-era. FIND researches and develops novel foundation models, i.e., large artificial intelligence (AI) models, and brings their benefits to unexplored applications and data types that are specific to - and requested by - the Dutch industry. FIND uniquely focusses on data types that are underserved by current foundation models and specifically addresses industry-relevant, low-resource, privacy-sensitive edge applications.
