Are you ready to leverage AI to help improve the lives of everyday Australians?
Australia’s AI Sprint is an exciting new initiative set to activate and bring together the AI ecosystem by supporting innovators to rapidly develop new, novel and viable AI solutions across various industries.
The AI Sprint is a collaboration between the National AI Centre (coordinated by Australia’s national science agency, CSIRO), Australia's largest innovation community Stone & Chalk, and Google Cloud.
A cohort of participants will be provided with the support they need - including corporate partnership opportunities, commercial mentoring, networking and technical assistance - to turn their AI tech into sustainable businesses during the sprint.
Help us shape the future of AI in Australia.
Program details
Australia’s AI Sprint will provide access to the expert guidance, infrastructure and connections needed to help participants create and launch AI-powered solutions that bring economic and social benefits to Australia.
