LEAP-AI is the University of Portsmouth’s Local Employer-led AI Professional Practice project, funded by the UK government through Innovate UK.
Bring us one business or engineering challenge. No AI idea or written brief is needed. We assess fit and shape a suitable brief with you.
Supervised engineering students at Levels 6 and 7 build, test and document a practical response. You receive a Working Pack: a tested prototype, how to run it, what it costs and where people stay in charge. Live implementation is your decision. There is also an option to take students on university funded summer placement.
There is no fee to take part, and approved build costs are covered by the project. The programme runs from autumn 2026 to summer 2027.
