Amsterdam has become one of the leading hubs for the development of AI technologies. This is in large part due to its strong academic community. That said, experts agree that more should be done with knowledge valorisation in the field of AI. StartupAmsterdam and TTT-AI want to bridge the gap between AI academia and the entrepreneurial community. How can a researcher collaborate with different stakeholders? How do you find a business-minded co-founder? How do you assemble a winning team? These and other questions will be answered at the Connecting Entrepreneurship and Research Meetup on the 25th of January.Who is this event for?<ul><li>AI researchers (thinking of) setting up a startup</li><li>AI researchers looking to join a startup </li><li>Entrepreneurs looking for technical co-founders</li></ul><a href="https://www.iamsterdam.com/en/business/startupamsterdam" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">About StartupAmsterdam</a>Created in 2015, StartupAmsterdam is an action programme run by the City of Amsterdam that brings the public and private sectors together to support the startups, scale-ups, entrepreneurs and other players in the local ecosystem.

While academics and entrepreneurship seem like a great fit on paper, there are challenges to overcome when bringing both worlds together. In this panel we will dive into these challenges and ask ourselves what are common pitfalls, how can we make it work and why is it essential to bring these worlds together. Paul Groth is Professor of Algorithmic Data Science at the University of Amsterdam where he leads the Intelligent Data Engineering Lab (INDElab). He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Southampton (2007) and has done research at the University of Southern California, the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and Elsevier Labs. His research focuses on intelligent systems for dealing with large amounts of diverse contextualized knowledge with a particular focus on web and science applications. This includes research in data provenance, data integration and knowledge sharing. Paul is scientific director of the UvA’s Data Science Center. Additionally, he is co-scientific director of two Innovation Center for Artificial Intelligence (ICAI) labs: The AI for Retail (AIR) Lab - a collaboration between UvA and Ahold Delhaize; and the Discovery Lab - a collaboration between Elsevier, the University of Amsterdam and VU University Amsterdam.
