Here we go again, welcome back to NMA Monday Alert!
Last week our Managing Partner Christoph took part in an event called “Startmeup Roundtable Hamburg No 3 “Gründung aus der Wissenschaft" - which brought the startup ecosystem of Hamburg together to discuss how to improve possibilities of founders at universities in Hamburg. A new model called Startup Factory was presented, which is not that new, but relies on what UnternehmerTUM in Munich has been doing for decades now. This will be a good addition to the ecosystem in Hamburg, but it is not the only thing going on here in the future.
We continue to see plenty of development in the AI space and will focus on this for this year and most likely for the next years to come. As we started investing in this are in 2015, we have a good feeling of the development right now and we can certainly see the demand among more established companies to find new AI based solutions. While some people see The Cult of AI, we see plenty of new business opportunities that will move the digital transformation of companies forward.
Just a quick reminder if you are still a bit unsure what all this AI stuff really means: just read our new book Künstliche Intelligenz kompakt: Grundlagen, Chancen und Perspektiven, so make sure to buy it now!
