AI Services

CLARA Services

CLARA provides a comprehensive portfolio of services that help organizations adopt, develop, deploy, and govern Artificial Intelligence solutions in the biotech, biomedical and clinical research. By combining expertise in AI technologies, digital innovation, regulatory compliance, and high-performance computing, CLARA supports industry, public administration, startups, and research organizations throughout their AI journey, from initial exploration to large-scale deployment.

AI Solutions and Knowledge Systems

Organizations increasingly need AI systems that can work reliably with their own knowledge, data, and processes. CLARA supports the design and implementation of advanced AI solutions that transform organizational knowledge into actionable intelligence.

A key area of expertise is Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), which enables AI systems to provide answers based on trusted organizational sources such as documents, databases, knowledge bases, technical documentation, contracts, and operational systems. Unlike generic AI assistants, RAG-based solutions deliver responses grounded in current and verifiable information, improving reliability, transparency, and trust.

To further enhance decision-making and explainability, CLARA supports the implementation of Knowledge Graphs, which organize information into interconnected entities and relationships. Combining Knowledge Graphs with RAG architecture enables organizations to understand dependencies between products, processes, customers, systems, regulations, and risks while providing explainable and traceable AI outputs.

 


Deep-Tech Innovation and Commercialization

CLARA helps researchers, startups, and innovation-driven organizations transform advanced technologies into sustainable business opportunities.

Support covers the entire innovation lifecycle, including:

  • Technology validation and market assessment
  • Intellectual property management
  • Commercialization and business model design
  • Licensing and spin-off creation
  • Investment readiness and fundraising preparation
  • Industry partnership development
  • Strategic market entry and growth support

By combining technological expertise with business development capabilities, CLARA helps bridge the gap between research excellence and commercial impact. With this regards, CLARA actively collaborates with IP Lab Ventures (IPL), a Czech deep-tech venture capital fund focused on practical applications of Artificial Intelligence and related advanced technologies. IPL specializes in supporting university and research organization spin-offs, technology transfer projects, and early-stage deep-tech companies across the Czech Republic and the broader Central and Eastern European region. The fund supports innovation projects from the earliest project and pre-seed stages through seed and Series A financing. For more information see section Business Acceleration

 

AI Compliance, Regulatory Affairs and Trustworthy AI

As AI regulation continues to evolve, organizations must ensure that AI systems are developed and deployed responsibly, safely, and in compliance with European legislation. CLARA provides expert guidance on AI governance, regulatory compliance, certification pathways, and trustworthy AI practices across multiple regulated sectors.

Services include:

  • AI Act readiness assessments and compliance support, including AI risk classification and conformity assessment preparation
  • Governance frameworks for trustworthy and human-centric AI
  • Internal policies, documentation, and quality management processes
  • Ongoing compliance advisory and regulatory support
  • For healthcare and life-science applications, CLARA provides specialized support related to the European Medical Device Regulation (MDR) and AI-enabled medical technologies.

 

CLARA also supports organizations in navigating the broader regulatory landscape surrounding AI systems, including:

  • GDPR and data governance requirements
  • Data-sharing and data-space frameworks
  • Research ethics and responsible innovation

By combining expertise in AI technologies, regulation, healthcare innovation, and digital governance, CLARA helps organizations accelerate innovation while maintaining compliance, safety, and public trust.

Access to Advanced AI Infrastructure

Modern AI development increasingly depends on access to powerful computing resources. Through its partners and ecosystem connections (esp. Czech AI Factory), CLARA provides access to advanced computational infrastructure supporting the development, testing, training, and deployment of AI solutions.

Organizations can benefit from:

  • High-performance computing (HPC)
  • Large-scale AI model training infrastructure
  • Advanced data processing and simulation environments
  • Expert support for AI workloads and optimization
  • Access to national and European AI infrastructure initiatives

This enables users to move beyond experimentation and scale AI solutions to production environments efficiently and securely.

CLARA partners, VSB – Technical University of Ostrava, INDRC, and CIIRC CTU, are proud members of the Czech AI Factory initiative. The Czech AI Factory brings together leading Czech AI research institutions, innovation organizations, industry partners, and supercomputing centers to accelerate the development and adoption of trustworthy Artificial Intelligence across Europe. Through this ecosystem, organizations gain access not only to specialized AI expertise and innovation services but also to state-of-the-art supercomputing resources required for the next generation of AI applications. Link to CZAI

Together, CLARA and the Czech AI Factory provide a unique gateway to advanced AI knowledge, innovation support, and world-class computational infrastructure, enabling organizations to develop, validate, and scale AI solutions with confidence.
