The Imperial College Business School Executive Education AI Startups & Innovation six-week online programme is designed to help startup founders, CEOs and heads of corporate new venture groups overcome the barriers of accessing expertise, networks, time and methodologies to successfully create a new artificial intelligence (AI) startup, or to transform an existing venture. The programme will cover how to identify business opportunities, leverage the dimensions of AI technologies, and build on the success of existing AI applications to improve products and services in any industry.
By applying proven analytical frameworks, you will effectively articulate a problem, define a solution, conduct a competitive analysis, and create a go-to-market strategy. You will also familiarise yourself with the implications of AI regulations, guidelines and compliance to evaluate the balance between protecting consumers, managing risk, promoting competition, and stimulating innovation.
What makes this course different is the capstone project that allows you to bring startup ventures to life by applying rudimentary frameworks to create a prototype, where no technical skills are required, and develop a business plan for a venture development or transformation.
“This programme gives you what you need to master AI innovation by providing guided assistance to launch a new AI company or an AI innovation project inside an established company.”
