CTO meets Researcher: First exchange between research and start-ups at hessian.AI | AI Startup Rising

With its new “CTO meets Researcher” format, hessian.AI | AI Startup Rising has created the first opportunity to bring researchers interested in founding a company together directly with CTOs from AI startups. The aim was to make the exchange low-threshold, on an equal footing, and practical—in a relaxed atmosphere with snacks and informal conversations.

The format offers mutual added value:

CTOs gain exciting insights into current AI research, while researchers learn first-hand how to make the transition from academia to the startup world. The personal exchange of experiences helps to build bridges between innovative research and application.

Special thanks go to Prof. Marcus Rohrbach for his support.

The format will be continued and expanded in the future to further strengthen the dialogue between research and entrepreneurship.
