A new roadshow called NovAI Labs: Everyday AI for Everyday Business is being launched to help Nova Scotian small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs) understand and adopt artificial intelligence.

It features a practical AI workshop designed to introduce SMEs to accessible AI tools that can help improve efficiency, reduce costs, and strengthen competitiveness—particularly in rural industries.

The series, offered by IGNITE Atlantic in collaboration with the Halifax web designer immediaC and Digital Nova Scotia, will be offered in the following locations:

"AI is giving us powerful new tools — opening doors we’ve never seen before and creating opportunities for businesses to thrive in ways we could only imagine a few years ago,” said immediacy CEO John Leahy. “This is a wave that’s coming fast, and we have an incredible opportunity to ride it. Those who learn how to use these tools will lead the next generation of innovation and success."
