You’ve done the research. But could it become a company? On behalf of NWO, TTT-AI together with ELLIS and ICAI is hosting a hands-on workshop for AI researchers ready to explore what it takes to bring their work to market. Curious whether your research could be the start of something bigger?
On behalf of NWO, TTT-AI invites AI researchers to a hands-on workshop exploring what it takes to turn their work into a successful academic spin-off. We’ve designed this introduction to be anything but dry theory: you’ll work with real tools, experiment with them as you go, and learn directly from two thriving startups who share what actually made the difference for them.
You’ll also get plenty of time to network with fellow researchers and founders interested in bringing academic research to market, rounded off with drinks to keep the conversation going.
Ready to take your research to market? Register here.
