About IIIM

The Icelandic Institute for Intelligent Machines (IIIM) is a new institute structured specifically to catalyze innovation, using artificial intelligence and simulation to accelerate development. Fields include manufacturing, consumer products, bioinformatics, virtual worlds and games, energy and climate research. IIIM's management schemes present a powerful framework for:

Bridging Academia and Industry

IIIM's three to nine- year development horizon connects industry's typical two-year product horizon and the decade-or-more research horizon in academia. Industrial sponsors can more effectively plan their product development trajectories while enabling exploration of applied research problems in wider contexts.

A 60/40 ratio between externally and internally motivated research not only stimulates progress in sponsors' interest areas but also advances intelligent machines and simulation.
