Google is working with the Department for Business and Trade to help UK SME leaders to boost productivity and innovation with AI.

The AI Works for Business tour teaches business leaders how AI can solve challenges and unlock growth. These events come as new research reveals that a lack of time forces 59% of UK businesses to pause game changing ideas.

The launch follows Google’s AI Works Report, which highlights AI’s potential to boost SME productivity by 20% — effectively adding an extra day to each working week and helping to unlock £198bn for UK SMEs.

This builds on Google's experience training over a million Britons with skills over the past decade and directly supports the government’s goal of upskilling 7.5 million people by 2030.
