SUMMARY:AI in action – AI Accelerator demo day & AIRE networking night
DESCRIPTION:The 6th batch of the AI Accelerator is wrapping up its six-month journey with a Demo Day\, where teams will take the stage to pitch their AI-powered solutions and compete for a €10\,000 grant to further develop their products. Up to three teams will be selected to receive the grant. Alongside the pitching programme\, attendees will have the opportunity to explore each team’s solution in a dedicated demo area and connect directly with the founders behind the ideas. \nThe Demo Day will bring together startups\, mentors\, industry experts\, investors and ecosystem partners to celebrate the progress of the participating teams and highlight the practical impact of AI across different sectors. \nAfter the pitches\, the programme continues with the AIRE networking event\, shifting the focus to AI in defence and dual-use innovation.
