AI research is crucial in shaping the technologies and companies of the future. For many, entrepreneurship is the ideal path to turn this research into real-world applications. Talent Kick, a program piloted in 2021 by the ETH AI Center and University of St. Gallen has grown into a Swiss-wide Initiative by the Kick Foundation, empowering university talents to form strong interdisciplinary co-founder teams, gain hands-on entrepreneurial experience during their studies and bring science-based innovation to the market!
At the AI Week, Talent Kick will celebrate the achievements of this year’s graduating teams, with the support of our trusted host & partner, Innovation Park Zurich
The Exclusive Talent Kick Graduation Ceremony brings together Talent Kick teams, supporters, ecosystem partners and entrepreneurial minds to celebrate the new generation of entrepreneurs taking their next big step on their founder journey. At the event, you will have the opportunity to network with leading entrepreneurs and innovation units of the Swiss entrepreneurial ecosystem in an exclusive small-scale gathering. You’ll be the first to see exciting demos and hear success stories from our teams, celebrate their achievements with them, and enjoy a networking apero.
