It will allow researchers and innovators to browse companies, funders, incubators and academic institutions that are involved in creating artificial intelligence (AI) products, services, processes and research. 

Users will be able to browse companies, research institutions, funders and incubators that are involved in creating and funding AI products, services, processes and research. The tool will make it easier to find information and navigate the UK’s dynamic AI R&D landscape as well as find partners to collaborate with. 

WAIFinder is web-based and is dynamic and updated constantly. It is freely accessible to users.
