This year’s programme is open to applications until 15 May – and will begin in the autumn

A University of Edinburgh initiative which helps emerging artificial intelligence (AI) companies maximise their full commercial potential is now accepting applications for its 2023 programme.

Open to both Scottish and international companies, the AI Accelerator is seeking innovative scale-ups to be part of its sixth cohort.

This year’s programme is open to applications until 15 May. Applicants must have a focus on using ‘AI for good’ to deliver societal benefits in key areas including health and wellbeing, social care and environmental stewardship.

The 12 companies selected for the next AI Accelerator, which will run for six months from mid-September, will get support aimed at helping transform their businesses, with a focus on investment strategy development and direct engagement with potential investors.

Along with financial support, newly-accepted cohort companies will also be given the opportunity to scale their business through a series of workshops with mentors, covering a range of commercialisation issues, from product pricing to leadership.
