Advancing Europe’s Testing and Experimentation 
Facilities for AI

Bringing AI solutions into the agri-food sector is not straightforward. Companies often face difficulties in testing technologies in real-world conditions, accessing reliable data and infrastructures and ensuring that their solutions comply with regulatory and ethical requirements.

For many SMEs and innovators, it is also challenging to demonstrate performance and impact, reduce risks before market entry and understand how their solution fits within a rapidly evolving European AI ecosystem.

agrifoodTEF addresses these needs by providing access to specialised testing facilities, domain expertise and validation services tailored to agriculture and food systems. It enables companies to move from concept to validated solution by offering a structured experimentation environment, where technologies can be tested, refined and trusted.

Developing AI solutions for manufacturing and industrial environments comes with specific challenges. Companies often struggle to test technologies in real production settings, ensure reliability and safety, and integrate AI into complex industrial processes without disrupting operations.

Limited access to industrial testing facilities and production environments, difficulty in validating performance, reliability, and safety at scale, integrating AI with existing industrial systems and processes and uncertainty around standards, compliance and certification requirements are only some of the challenges that EU organisations are facing.

AI-MATTERS addresses these needs by providing large-scale testing and experimentation facilities for AI in manufacturing and robotics. It enables companies to validate their solutions in realistic industrial environments, ensuring performance, safety, and compliance before market deployment.

Developing and deploying AI solutions in healthcare involves strict requirements in terms of safety, reliability, and compliance. Organisations must ensure that their technologies meet regulatory standards, protect sensitive data, and deliver clinically relevant outcomes.

Accessing real-world testing environments, validating performance in clinical settings, and navigating regulatory frameworks can be complex and resource-intensive. For many innovators, demonstrating trust, safety, and impact is a key barrier to adoption.

TEF-Health addresses these challenges by providing specialised testing and experimentation facilities for AI in healthcare. It enables organisations to validate their solutions in realistic clinical environments, ensuring safety, compliance, and readiness for market deployment.
