Softhouse has been selected as one of five suppliers specializing in AI and machine learning for manufacturing. The framework agreement creates an opportunity to support the development of the manufacturing industry in Skåne by making advanced technologies more accessible to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The agreement is part of the Kickstart AI and DigitHub 2.0 projects, through which IUC Syd, together with its partners Open Tech, Almi and Tech Tank, helps companies turn AI ideas into practical applications. Softhouse will contribute its expertise to identify opportunities, develop AI solutions and support their implementation in business operations.

This is an important vote of confidence and an exciting opportunity for us to help strengthen the competitiveness of businesses in Skåne. We have the expertise and experience needed to help manufacturers address future challenges through our pragmatic, down-to-earth approach, says Stina Åkesson, CEO of Softhouse Sydväst.

One of AI’s greatest opportunities lies in using data to make better decisions, improve production efficiency and unlock new possibilities. Our strength is combining deep technical expertise with a genuine understanding of our customers’ businesses and turning that into solutions that deliver real value, says Anton Frisk, AI/ML/Data Scientist på Softhouse.

The framework agreement runs until December 2028, with an option to extend.
