Landesmesse Stuttgart, September 30th, 2022

Tübingen AI Center hosted the first AI symposium and start-up fair on “Sciencepreneurship” - bridging cutting-edge research with agile entrepreneurship

To address the many challenges faced by people and societies today, we need a boost of breakthrough innovations that make their way from the lab to the market. Machine learning and artificial intelligence is a key enabling technology for innovations across virtually all domains and will have a huge impact on the future world economy and society. The Sciencepreneur FAIR symposium brought together innovative minds from science, politics and business to share their successes and challenges around AI research and entrepreneurship. Top-class speakers provided exciting input on AI in science, technology transfer and spin-offs. The symposium was held in collaboration with the Startup BW Summit of the Ministry of Economics, Labor and Tourism Baden Wuerttemberg and the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS) and aimed at building a cross-over platform for sciencepreneurship.

The next Sciencepreneur FAIR will take place in summer 2024 in Stuttgart.
