UK WAIfinder
Showcasing AI capability in the UK and increasing connections across the AI R&D ecosystem.
The app
Development led by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI), with support from Nesta, UK WAIfinder is an online tool to support ecosystem facilitation and maximise connectivity across the AI landscape.
The tool will make it easier to find information and navigate the UK’s dynamic AI R&D landscape as well as find partners to collaborate with.
Users will be able to browse companies, research institutions, funders and incubators that are involved in creating and funding AI products, services, processes and research.
Get involved
Engagement from the AI community will be essential to keep the tool useful and relevant.
