On 2 June 2026, the SAIEMM project was presented during the AI project pitch talks at FERIT.AIxperience, a two-day event hosted by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Information Technology Osijek (FERIT) and dedicated to the application of artificial intelligence in education, research, and industry. The pitch introduced the project’s goals, its cross-border approach, and the planned SAIEMM Assistant platform to an audience of students, researchers, and professionals.
The presentation demonstrated how SAIEMM combines AI research with the practical deployment of renewable energy. Five fully monitored pilot solar installations in Čepin and Sremska Mitrovica will generate real production and consumption data, which will be used to develop and validate the AI tools behind the assistant. Attendees learned how the project aims to transform the complex—and often discouraging—process of adopting solar power into clear, data-driven guidance available in Croatian, Serbian, and English.

The event provided a valuable opportunity to raise awareness of the project within the regional research and innovation community and to spark early interest among potential users and collaborators.

SAIEMM is being implemented by the Municipality of Čepin (Lead Partner, Croatia), the City of Sremska Mitrovica (Serbia), FERIT Osijek (Croatia), and the College of Applied Studies Sirmium (Serbia).
New web site
The Interreg IPA Croatia–Serbia project Smart AI Energy Management and Monitoring (SAIEMM) has launched its official website, now available at saiemm.eu. The website introduces the project to the wider public and showcases its main output: the SAIEMM Assistant, an AI-powered guide designed to make the transition to solar self-consumption clearer, simpler, and more reliable across the cross-border region.
