N2 - Today's rapidly changing marketplaces are constantly bringing new ways of transforming business operations and require companies to be flexible and dynamic. Toward this direction the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools and techniques has the potential to bring significant value by transforming business operations and increasing their efficiency. Companies are already benefiting from AI solutions such as prescriptive analytics to enhance customers' experience or achieve optimal use of limited resources. This paper analyses the opportunities and challenges deriving in the context of introducing AI solutions in Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in different sectors of activity (matchmaking., earth observation., energy services., planning services., cyber physical services., digital innovation hubs) by reviewing the research design., methodology and expected results of six Horizon 2020 European projects: AI4Copernicus., AIPlan4EU., BonsAPPs., DIH4AI., I-NERGY and Stairw AI. The overarching goal of these proj ects is the enhancement of the European AI-on-Demand (AIoD) platform by mobilising the European AI community to support businesses and sectors in accessing expertise., knowledge., algorithms and tools for successfully applying AI and thereby generating market impact.
