A Kerry Start-Up Selected for AI Accelerator Programme at University College Dublin.
Ailtir, a start-up based in Tralee, is one of nine start-ups selected to participate in the second 6-month AI Ecosystem Accelerator Programme.
The programme is being delivered by NovaUCD and CeADAR, Ireland’s Centre for AI, at University College Dublin.
The focus of the programme is to support a cohort of entrepreneurs who are developing disruptive AI solutions in sectors including advertising, construction, cybersecurity, education, and finance.
Donagh Ó’Buachalla, CEO and co-founder, Ailtir, said, “We’re delighted to have been accepted onto the AI Ecosystem Accelerator programme which is being delivered by NovaUCD and CeADAR. It’s a fantastic opportunity to connect with world-class mentors and ambitious founders, and to accelerate Ailtir’s mission to transform how construction teams approach tendering. We’re looking forward to sharpening our product, deepening our impact, and scaling our solution both in Ireland and internationally.”
The AI Ecosystem Accelerator Programme is funded through the European Digital Innovation Hubs (EDIH) framework, a Europe-wide initiative with funding of €700 million from both the European Commission and the Governments of member states. The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Employment, through Enterprise Ireland, is leading on the EDIH programme for Ireland.
