AI Academy: Strategy in Action
A one-day in-person workshop helping SMEs apply AI to strategic planning, streamline operations, and build a focused 30-day plan for action.
For growing businesses, the question is no longer whether AI will impact their work but how quickly they can harness it to gain a competitive edge.
We've partnered with the pros at AI Potential to bring you AI Academy: Strategy in Action. It's a one-day, hands-on workshop at Plus X Innovation Brighton, designed to cut through the noise and give SMEs the practical tools and strategic clarity to make AI a part of their business growth story. With expert guidance, peer learning, and a clear structure, participants will explore how to turn AI from a distraction into a driver of progress.

This programme is ideal for time-stretched leaders looking for clarity, confidence, and action.
You'll work through a series of guided activities to map out your business challenges, identify opportunities, and use AI tools to start building a focused 30-day plan, supported by workflows that can reduce busywork and accelerate delivery.
Whether you're new to AI or already experimenting with tools like ChatGPT, this session will help you make better strategic decisions, free up team capacity, and future-proof your business operations. You'll also get takeaway prompts, templates, and curated resources to support implementation beyond the day.

The people I have met here make it a dream coming in a few times a week! I don't see myself being able to go back to working from home the same way I did before coming to Plus X Innovation, I don't think I could leave the sense of community behind. It really is something everyone who is working from home should try!
Central Research Laboratory has contributed to our journey in many ways: access to a network, manufacturing, procurement services, and workshop facilities. CRL enables us to feel like a slightly bigger company than we would otherwise be if left to our own devices. Being here at CRL as a cohort member, makes it feel a lot more real and plugged in into the ecosystem.
Besides the workshop facilities, the best thing about working in the Brighton hub has got to be being able to collaborate with people in the same building as you. The variety of expertise and experience in the building is awesome.
We could not be in a better place to grow as a company. We get amazing support from the Plus X Innovation staff, plus collaboration opportunities with the other inspiring residents and companies. We feel like we’re living in the future of workplaces in the present and that is pretty damn cool.
Through my time at Plus X Innovation my business has turned from a student project into a registered R&D company. My favourite thing about being at Plus X Brighton is having a mini family in the office and a beautiful space to be the best you and make the best connections.
How places are allocated
