About This Event

Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities are advancing at an unprecedented speed. In an AI enabled world, it matters who influences and builds the models, data and AI infrastructure that businesses will depend on. Within the thriving AI sector in the UK, there is a unique opportunity not only to lead in the deployment of AI technologies but also to drive the development of the next generation of cutting‑edge AI.

Delivered by Digital Catapult in partnership with Innovate UK, this webinar will explore emerging opportunities at the frontier of AI development, including pathways for funding programmes. Designed to foster collaboration, this session will help participants share ambitions, build relationships, and begin shaping ideas that could evolve into competitive consortia funding bids.

This event will be of interest to:

  • UK companies of all sizes already researching or developing state-of-the-art frontier AI models and solutions
  • UK companies of all sizes that see the potential of novel AI to accelerate their business strategies, for example by leveraging existing data
  • Academic and research organisations interested in building connections leading to consortia R&D bids

Why attend?

Frontier AI refers to the leading edge of AI development whose rapidly advancing capabilities are expected to have profound implications for productivity, competitiveness, and economic growth in the UK.
