About Us
MAIA - Montenegrin AI Association is a Non-Governmental organization, founded in September 2022 with an ambition to bring together the Montenegrin AI community. Our goal is to popularize Artificial Intelligence related research and spread awareness of its importance in our country, but also encourage our society to join the fast wave of AI innovation in the World.
To achieve this, Montenegro must become an attractive location for AI entrepreneurs, where willingness for modernization makes conditions for the innovative minds’ hub.
Only if our brightest minds take the lead at making bold moves of establishment, research and teaching in our country can we really pick up the speed of the digital transformation.
We enable our members to learn from each other’s experiences and bring new ideas into our community. Through the exchange in our network, we contribute to strengthening the innovative power in Montenegro. Artificial Intelligence can be successful in our country, only when accepted by all sectors - higher education, general public, politics and economy.
Therefore, our goal is awakening openness for an active, successful and sustainable AI ecosystem in Montenegro.
