The AI Incubator

The AI Incubator encourages scientists, technologists and business talent be part of the next generation AI startups. 

In this six week program, we want researchers to think about possibilities to transfer their cutting-edge AI & robotics research into products & applications. With topics like prototyping, product-market-fit, business strategy and funding opportunities, we want to equip the participants with knowledge, tools and skills and connect them with a network of experts, mentors, other founders and investors to inspire their journey into the AI startup world. In the end of the program on Demo Day, every team will have the opportunity to pitch their idea to a jury of industry experts and win special awards.

The AI Incubator is curated by Cyber Valley & funded by Carl-Zeiss-Stiftung, supported by partners from the Cyber Valley ecosystem.
