About AIGA
The AI Growth Alliance (AIGA) is a Hampshire and Solent partnership bringing together business, education, and the public sector to build confidence and capability in responsible AI.
The AI Growth Alliance brings together business, education, and the public sector to help Hampshire and the Solent become a national exemplar for responsible, inclusive, and practical AI — building confidence, capability, and opportunity across the region.
A Hampshire and Solent region recognised nationally and internationally as a leading hub for responsible AI — where confidence, capability, and opportunity grow together across businesses, communities, and public services.
What We Believe
These principles shape how we work and what we stand for as a region.
AI growth is about people as much as technology
Ethics and inclusion are sources of advantage
Coordination unlocks scale
Place matters: local assets, local values
Our Values
We operate by the CREDIT principles - guiding everything we do.
Collaboration
We succeed by working together — business, education, public sector, and communities.
Results
We focus on real-world outcomes: organisations gaining confidence, people developing skills, communities benefiting.
Efficiency
We design programmes that deliver maximum value with minimal friction.
Diversity & Inclusion
Ethics and inclusion are not add-ons — they are what make AI work for everyone.
Iteration
We learn by doing. We test, refine, and adapt based on evidence.
Transparency
We are open about our goals, decisions, and progress.
What We Do
Connect Community
We bring together businesses, universities, the public sector and voluntary organisations to collaborate on AI initiatives.
Build Skills
We support confidence-building through accessible training, learning pathways, and skills development — because AI skills start with curiosity and mindset, not just technical knowledge.
Secure Funding
We help partners access grants, investment, and funding opportunities for AI projects.
Drive Innovation
We support practical pilot projects that demonstrate what responsible AI looks like in real settings — grounded in local needs and real use cases.
