The AI in Action Business Summit is one day. The work continues all year. Explore practical AI resources, hear from industry and Northeastern experts, and connect with the teams helping organizations move from AI interest to AI implementation.
AI adoption does not always start with a big build. The right first step might be a working session, team training, a data readiness review, a Working Lab project, or a scoped technical build. Start with the path that matches your organization’s needs now, then build from there.
Build practical AI, data, and digital skills through customized, instructor-led learning experiences designed around your team, tools, and business goals.
Work with Northeastern’s applied AI teams to identify opportunities, prototype tools, build production-ready solutions, and strengthen internal capability.
Pair faculty-guided graduate student teams with your organization to tackle a defined business challenge, develop prototypes, analyze data, or create actionable outputs.
Engage faculty, researchers, students, and applied teams around AI challenges tied to health, life sciences, operations, climate, workforce, and more.
Bring emerging AI and data talent into your organization through co-ops, experiential projects, and applied student collaborations.
For founders, startups, investors, and innovation teams building what comes next. Connect with Roux entrepreneurship programs, founder resources, mentorship, venture pathways, and Maine’s startup community.
AI in Action is part of a larger ecosystem of partnership at The Roux Institute. Explore ways to connect with talent, research, entrepreneurship, custom learning, AI solutions, and regional innovation partners throughout the year.
Have a question about how AI could apply to your organization, your team, or your industry? Northeastern’s Institute for Experiential AI brings together data scientists, applied AI experts, responsible AI practitioners, researchers, and experiential co-op talent to help organizations think through what is possible and what is practical.
Whether you are exploring AI strategy, employee adoption, responsible AI, data readiness, technical feasibility, or a specific use case, we can help route your question to the right expertise.
