The AIM Project, co-financed by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission, launches its Digital Warehouse — a multilingual, open-access platform designed to make Artificial Intelligence accessible, practical, and useful for Europe’s micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and the VET ecosystem.

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping the business landscape, yet many small enterprises still struggle to find practical, trustworthy, and relevant tools to integrate AI into their daily operations. The AIM Project (Artificial Intelligence for MSMEs) has addressed this gap with the creation of the AIM Digital Warehouse — a dynamic, user-friendly platform that brings together all project resources, tools, and learning materials in one open space

Artificial Intelligence for MSMEs: The AIM Project Boosts Europe’s Digital Readiness

Co-financed by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Commission, the AIM Project supports Europe’s micro, small and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) and the VET ecosystem in adopting Artificial Intelligence for smarter, more sustainable growth.

Originally designed for 120 participants, the Erasmus+-co-financed FREELANCER training reached nearly 700 learners and trainers across Europe — marking a milestone in accessible and practice-oriented education for freelancers.

What began as a pilot to validate the FREELANCER training curriculum with 120 participants has grown into one of the project’s most remarkable achievements: by the end of the implementation phase, the FREELANCER partnership had reached almost 700 learners and trainers across Europe. This overwhelming response underscores both the relevance of the content and the urgent demand for structured, accessible training for freelancers in the evolving digital economy.

Co-financed by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union, FREELANCER delivers open-access, multilingual training to equip freelancers with the competences needed for a digital, resilient, and self-sustained career.

Freelancers are redefining Europe’s labour market — shaping innovation, flexibility, and creativity across sectors. Yet, their independence also demands a strong foundation of self-management, digital skills, and entrepreneurial resilience. To respond to these needs, the FREELANCER project — co-financed by the Erasmus+ Programme of the European Union — has developed a complete training curriculum, available in five languages and open access through the project’s Digital OER Platform.
