University of Warwick Opens Applications for Next AI & Data Accelerator Cohort

The University of Warwick has officially launched recruitment for its next cohort of the AI & Data Accelerator, a dynamic programme designed to support the next generation of tech entrepreneurs.

Aimed at helping founders transform artificial intelligence, data, and emerging technologies into sustainable ventures, the accelerator provides tailored guidance and hands-on support to early-stage and scaling businesses. The initiative empowers innovators to tackle global challenges by equipping them with the essential resources needed to succeed.

Part of the University’s broader commitment to fostering innovation, the flexible programme is particularly focused on deep technology ventures. Participants benefit from expert mentorship, business development resources, and a collaborative environment that nurtures cutting-edge, data-driven ideas.

Applications are now open, with entrepreneurs encouraged to apply and join a growing network of tech founders dedicated to shaping a smarter, more sustainable future.

We talked to Professor Andy Pardoe, chair of the Deep Tech Innovation Centre at University of Warwick to learn more about the support we offer Deep Tech founders.

Read the interview with Andy Pardoe below…

My name is Andy Pardoe, I’m chair of the Deep Tech Innovation Centre and leading the AI and Data program. I’m passionate about helping the next generation of tech founders.

Over the last four or five cohorts we’ve had lots of startup founders, many of them have benefited from mentorship, both from a business mentor and technical mentorship. We have a number of them that have worked closely with students to help them build their MVP. Some of those students have continued to be the C.T.O. of those startups.

So, it’s a great ecosystem, to access all of that capability from the university. So, please apply today.
