by Startacus Admin

Impressive cohort of 32 AI tech scaleups from across the UK are announced as participants in Tech Nation's Applied AI 3.0 growth programme.

It’s all systems go for the folk at Tech Nation.

Hot on the heels of the announcement of the late-stage startups who have been selected for their Future Fifty programme and last week’s news on the Climate Tech companies participating in NetZero 2.0, they have just announced details of the 32 AI tech companies who have been accepted into Applied AI 3.0. - the third iteration of their Applied AI programme.

The 6 month government-backed Applied AI programme was created by Tech Nation to support and accelerate the UK’s highest-potential AI scaleups who are applying AI in practical areas to create real-world impact.

The participants in this year’s programme will gain access to a host of compact insight sessions delivered by later-stage founders, all focused on key scaling challenges, as well as coaching sessions to develop leadership skills and peer connections and regular networking opportunities with investors, VCs, corporates and peers.

Sam Beni, Applied AI Programme Lead, said: “We at Tech Nation are delighted to welcome such a wide range of innovative companies to our third Applied AI cohort, and to support them on their scaling journeys. Following the turbulence of 2020 with the global pandemic, the number of Applied AI scaleups focussing on transforming the world of healthcare is a beacon of hope for the coming years, and the breadth of industries that these AI scaleups are disrupting is testament to AI’s power to shape the world we live in.”
