AI start-up programme launches for second year

Altada and Trinity College Dublin’s Tagent have announced that applications for its 2022 Alsessor AI Acceletrator Programme are open.

The accelerator programme, which will run for five months starting in February, will award up to €250,000 by investing in the company considered to have greatest commercial and AI potential.

Alsessor AI was co-founded in November 2020 by Altada and Tangent with a mission to support AI entrepreneurs.

Throughout the programme Altada executives and leadership from Tangent, among others, provide global early-stage AI start-ups at prototype or proof of concept phase with exposure to domain expertise, mentorship, masterclasses, and workshops.

At the end of the programme, each company will present their business concept before a panel of expert judges.

“Having scaled Altada from a team of nine in November 2019 to a team of one hundred in 10 locations in 2021, we know Alsessor will take your Company to the next level, the program is designed to validate the AI technology, assess commercial viability and drive investor readiness,” said Niamh Parker, co-founder & chief legal and people officer at Altada. “I personally look forward to working with the program participants and welcome all companies who are discovering new and exciting applications of AI to apply”

Ken Finnegan, Tangent’s chief executive said: “The value and benefit for early-stage startups participating in this world class accelerator is enormous. The selected teams will have access to funding, the best minds across industry and academia to progress their organisation and also access to a network of supports. Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we work and live, Tangent is proud to drive and support the next generation of cutting-edge companies.”
