From Cyber Valley to Europe's AI frontier: Feyer and Ontic Labs have been selected to shape Europe's frontier AI future. 🎉🚀 The two start-ups are among just ten teams across Europe selected for the first stage of SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen's Next Frontier AI Challenge, each receiving €3 million in non-dilutive funding to develop technologies beyond today's AI models. Both companies were founded by researchers from Eberhard Karls Universität Tübingen, Tübingen AI Center, Max-Planck-Institut für Intelligente Systeme, ELLIS Institute Tübingen — all part of the Cyber Valley Innovation Campus. Their success is another example of what can happen when world-class AI research, entrepreneurial ambition, and a highly connected innovation ecosystem supported by Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst Baden-Württemberg and many more come together to turn breakthrough ideas into impactful companies in THE LÄND. Having two of the ten selected teams emerge from the Cyber Valley ecosystem is an exciting recognition of the region's strength in frontier AI research and entrepreneurship. Congratulations to the teams—we're excited to follow your journey! 👏 Ontic: Omid Taheri, Mikel Zhobro, Georg Martius, Gerard Pons-Moll, Wieland Brendel Feyer: Jonathan Klimesch, Sören Arlt, Mario Krenn 👉 Discover more and explore the story: https://lnkd.in/e6_qKt9i Photos: SPRIND - Bundesagentur für Sprunginnovationen #AI #BetterTogether #Innovation #startup #networking Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems | ELLIS Institute Tübingen | ELLIS - European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems | Ministerium für Wissenschaft, Forschung und Kunst Baden-Württemberg | THE LÄND | Start-up BW | Staatsministerium Baden-Württemberg | Petra Olschowski | Cem Özdemir | Dr. Danyal Bayaz
