Thursday Gathering
AI for Science: From Pre-Seed to Breakthrough
Apr 2, 2026, 6:00 PM - 9:00 PM GMT+1

📍 1 Triton Square, London NW1 3BF

 

Artificial Intelligence is rapidly transforming how science is conducted, from hypothesis generation and simulation to drug discovery and materials design.

This evening will bring together leading AI-for-Science startups, researchers, and investors to explore how the field is evolving from early-stage experimentation to venture-backed scale.

Through a curated innovation showcase and two focused panels, we will examine what it takes to build credible, technically rigorous, and commercially viable AI-for-Science companies in today’s funding environment.
