WHAT WE DO
Test before choosing
The AI Workshop in Biel/Bienne lets your team test practical tasks with anonymised documents and choose a useful first experiment. Participants leave with a working method and review criteria before buying or building a solution.
01START WITH A REAL TASK
Example to discuss in Biel/Bienne: match an inspection sheet to a reported watchmaking defect. During the workshop, participants use an anonymised sample, write an instruction and compare two outputs against their own reference. The outcome is a decision about usefulness and the checks required, rather than a deployment.

WHY THIS MATTERS HERE · Biel/Bienne
On site in Biel/Bienne, remote across Switzerland
Biel/Bienne is a historic hub of watchmaking and precision mechanics (Swatch Group head office); the Switzerland Innovation Park Biel/Bienne works on medtech and production technology, in the country’s largest bilingual city.
Biel is the city of watchmaking and precision mechanics: the head offices and manufactures of large watch groups, dozens of component workshops, and an innovation park opening towards medtech, batteries and mobility. It is also the largest bilingual city in Switzerland, on the shore of its lake, with a university of applied sciences and a fabric of IT providers serving regional industry from the Seeland to the Bernese Jura.
Biel’s requests mix the two languages and the two cultures: writing technical sheets and procedures in French and German without translating twice, structuring workshop and inspection reports, preparing the documentation of a medical device for a regulatory file, or qualifying after-sales service requests. The concern for the right dimension and for traceability applies to documents as to parts: AI proposes, the owner validates.

What can we decide after the workshop?
You can select a limited trial, its owner and success criteria. Connecting business systems requires separate scoping.
What format is available in Biel/Bienne?
A half-day or full day depending on the participants and exercises. Location, any travel and scope are agreed before confirmation.
