With this two-part event, we aim to shift researchers and students with interest in Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence into an Entrepreneurial Mindset. With input from experts and hands-on experience, we want to highlight the opportunities and challenges that a career as a founder and entrepreneur can hold in contrast to traditional research.

This edition of our event aims to unlock the potential of Start-Ups utilizing AI to revolutionize medical healthcare. But what is healthcare innovation exactly? It involves the integration of AI technologies to improve patient outcomes, enhance diagnostic accuracy, streamline healthcare delivery, and personalize treatment plans, ultimately ensuring better health and quality of life for all.

Our Keynote speakers are AI Researchers, Entrepreneurs, and Start-up Founders. While Friday offers insights through Keynotes and Discussions, Saturday challenges participants to develop their own ideas leveraging AI to improve healthcare diagnostics, treatment, management, and patient care. At the end of the day, the groups will pitch their Start-Up ideas to our highly qualified jury from industry and academia.
