Agentic AI to drive the internationalization of SMEs

Article content

Against this backdrop, the development of an AI platform geared towards SMEs is planned, with a view to strengthening the economic fabrics of the two countries, facilitating these companies’ use of advanced technology, and opening up new commercial opportunities between regions. Indra Group and Cohere will thereby democratize smaller companies’ access to state-of-the-art AI solutions and, at the same time, foster trade relations between territories with a practical approach, boosting business growth and helping protect international supply chains, which are regarded as of strategic interest in the current geopolitical context.

The platform will be designed to collect and process business intelligence, build growth scenarios (with the likelihood of success and potential action plans), and support decision-making by management teams, especially during internationalization processes. To strengthen trust, the approach will include a verification layer supported by public entities and institutional sources to validate essential information on participating companies (e.g. their registration and compliance status), thereby reducing friction when it comes to generating business opportunities.

Furthermore, the agreement calls for the use of agentic AI through “digital assistants” capable of acting on behalf of each company to search for opportunities, filter potential partners, put forward alternatives, and prepare next steps, providing specialized support on a constant basis. The framework also includes a “marketplace” of agents (e.g. for trade matters), in such a way that companies can use these assistants on demand to automate parts of their strategies. The effective closure of agreements and the final decision will continue to depend on the human factor, although the agentic support will lead to faster progress on formal issues, without replacing actual negotiations between companies.
