What is it?
The Deep Tech Innovation Centre runs two programmes; the AI & Data Accelerator, and the FinTech Accelerator. These programmes support early-stage founders on their entrepreneurship journey.
- Get help to validate your ideas.
- Develop your business plan.
- Access networks of businesses, experts, investors and other useful contacts.
- One to one mentoring to help you shape your business plan and become investment-ready.
- Space at the heart of the University of Warwick campus, to work, hold meetings or get to know others in the programme.
Take a look at some of the spinouts we have supported in previous cohorts.
Who can apply?
Anyone with a great early stage business using AI & Data, or addressing FinTech markets. You should have a UK registered company or be in the process of registered your company in the UK.
The programme is in-person - we believe that founders get enormous benefit from working with others at a similar stage of development who are developing different solutions for different markets. We deliver bootcamp training and monthly workshops addressing key topics for start-up founders, and these are in addition to one-to-one mentoring and online drop-in clinics.
Working with our founders
Our founders are always keen to meet with students, particularly those from the Department of Computer Science and Maths, and explore opportunities to work with them in the future. Over the past few years we have seen several of our students go on to join start-up companies from the Deep Tech Incubator. You can find out more about our founders and some of the projects they are working on here. Find Out More
