• 9.30-4.00   AI Incubators and digital entrepreneurship (charge may apply) 

Incubators have become particularly relevant in an era of growing digital innovation – whose complexity may well demand multiple forms of support. This is especially so with developments in artificial intelligence, which are making inroads across sectors and disciplines, from engineering to life sciences. This all day event will take place in-person and is being run in collaboration with Enterprise Educators UK. It will address such questions as: How should universities support such businesses, particularly when they may be working with technologies in a range of specialist disciplinary areas? How do they balance the need for guidance in enterprise and entrepreneurship with highly technical demands related to underlying technologies and application areas? Places are limited and may be chargeable if your institution is not an EEUK member. All bookings should be made via Enterprise Educators. Please note that a waiting list is now in operation.
