Our innovation talks put companies working at the edge of what’s next in front of students, researchers and innovation teams across university ecosystems. You’re using AI in ways most people haven’t seen yet. We want to champion that work and let it inspire the people who will build what comes after it.
Students and researchers learn about AI from courses and papers, but rarely meet the companies putting it to work in new ways. Our innovation talks bring those companies into the room. We work across education, research, innovation and enterprise, so one talk reaches students, researchers, spinouts and the businesses around them, and the conversation carries on in our community afterwards.
We champion your work to an audience across university ecosystems, not a single lecture theatre.
Meet students, researchers and spinouts who could join you, test your ideas or build on them.
A write-up of your talk on our blog, linked to your company, and a conversation that carries on in our community.
The next generation of professionals, looking for what’s possible and where they could work.
Teams turning research into products, who learn fastest from people a few steps ahead.
Teams in the university’s business network looking for fresh ideas and new ways of working.
Give a talk in one of our seasons on how your company is using AI at the edge of what’s next.
Join other innovators and the university’s own experts for a conversation about what comes next.
Set a challenge, judge a hackathon or give feedback inside a programme that’s already running.
Companies built around AI from day one, with lessons most people haven’t learned yet.
Teams turning research into products, from the lab to first customers.
People using AI to change how their profession or industry works, from the inside.
Meet students learning to work alongside AI agents. A talk or a panel is a better introduction than a careers stand.
Tell us what your company is building and how you’re using AI, and we’ll find the right talk season for it.
