About this Event
Join one of the free Rural AI Roadshow Conferences running across Scotland in January 2026, hosted by Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, South of Scotland Enterprise, The Scottish AI Alliance and The Data Lab.
AI isn’t just for tech giants. It’s already helping rural businesses improve customer service, manage stock, reduce waste, and even predict demand and it doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.
Join us to explore how AI can fit into your business. These one-day conferences are designed to inspire, inform, and connect stakeholders from across the public, private, and third sectors.
We’re bringing together rural business leaders from across Scotland for a day of practical insights, real-life success stories, and straightforward conversations about how artificial intelligence (AI) can help your business grow, save time, and make smarter decisions.
The conference will spotlight regional opportunities, showcase pioneering projects, and provide practical insights into how AI can drive inclusive and sustainable growth in rural Scotland. You’ll hear from fellow rural entrepreneurs, get hands-on with simple tools, and leave with ideas you can use.
