In the global economy, AI technology is expected to enhance the economic output by $13 trillion, by 2030. According to McKinsey, companies that fully absorb this technology could double their cash-flow at that time, while companies that don’t could see a 20% decline.
Through this program, with highly specialized partners, we are targeting startups developing high-tech products making use of technologies like AI, ML & Deep Learning, Big Data, Advanced Analytics.
While we are looking for feasible digital products, with a validated market need, an internationally scalable solution, we are mostly looking for solid & passionate teams with global ambitions having the power and drive to execute!
From 2018, we implemented 4 award-winning accelerator programs in Romania to the benefit of 40+ startups, and now, we are heading up to a new program designed specifically for AI technology products. Apply until October 15th!
