FAIR’s technological focus is on artificial intelligence, but at the same time it also offers expertise in the field of extended reality (XR), cyber security, funding search and high-performance computing. The services are primarily free for SMEs. You can get more information about FAIR and its services by contacting or visiting FAIR’s website.
