Artificial Intelligence is transforming deep tech innovation by accelerating research, development, and commercialization like never before. It shortens product cycles, opens new markets, and enables researchers and entrepreneurs to turn discoveries into successful ventures faster than ever.

AI plays a vital role by:

  • Speeding up R&D: Reducing the time from lab to market
  • Improving commercialization: Using AI tools to scale new ventures effectively
  • Enabling funding and partnerships: Leveraging AI’s potential to attract investors and build strong ecosystems

At the 5th IEEE SPS Entrepreneurship Forum in Barcelona, we will explore how AI is revolutionizing signal processing and related fields. The forum will equip entrepreneurs with the knowledge and tools to drive real-world impact.

The event will also feature a Startup Pitch Fest, showcasing cutting-edge early-stage ventures that are pushing the boundaries of AI and signal processing. Join us to discover why this is the best time to transform research into high-impact ventures powered by AI.
