Tremplin IA
Proof-of-Concept funding module.
How the laws define this
Both sources establish that Tremplin IA functions under the DigitalWallonia4.ai framework to assist companies with implementing Proof of Concept (PoC) projects for artificial intelligence solutions. They diverge primarily in how strictly they define the scope and administrative mechanism of this initiative. Under DigitalWallonia4.AI, Tremplin IA is explicitly characterized as a formal funding instrument distributed through competitive calls and governed by grant contracts that impose specific reporting requirements and deliverables, extending to both single companies and joint demonstrations hosted by competitiveness clusters. Conversely, the Wallonia DigitalWallonia4.ai Program 2020-2024 frames the concept more broadly as a support program designed to help businesses establish AI PoCs across diverse sectors, omitting details regarding grant contracts, competitive procedures, or collaborative cluster demonstrations.
Synthesised from the 2 statutory definitions below. Each one is quoted in full, with its source.
