NovaUCD is currently inviting applications from Irish-based start-ups to join its 2025 AI Ecosystem Accelerator programme, now entering its second year. This initiative is designed to support entrepreneurs focused on developing disruptive AI solutions across various sectors, including healthcare, cybersecurity, education, sustainability, finance, content creation, supply chain, and customer service, targeting a global market.

The six-month programme is set to commence in April and will be conducted by NovaUCD, the innovation and start-up hub at University College Dublin (UCD), in collaboration with CeADAR, Ireland’s Centre for AI. Participants in this programme will receive tailored support, benefiting from the expertise of CeADAR’s AI specialists and experienced commercial mentors.

Workshops will be provided on essential topics such as value proposition, scaling, and investor readiness. Moreover, participants will have access to a collaborative co-working space at NovaUCD, fostering connections with established AI entrepreneurs, start-ups, corporates, and investors, as well as the opportunity to engage with skilled interns.

With applications currently open until 21 February 2025, this programme represents a significant opportunity for start-ups looking to innovate within the AI landscape.
