Tangent and Altada Technology Solutions team up with Alsessor, a new AI accelerator programme

Tangent, Trinity College Dublin’s ‘Ideas Workspace’ has partnered with Altada Technology Solutions to create Alsessor, a new AI accelerator programme supporting early stage startups and entrepreneurs in the growth and commercialisation of their businesses.

This partnership aims to embed the initiative in the AI start-up ecosystem and create cornerstones for ambitious, global-reaching businesses.

Alsessor has issued a call out to all early stage AI startups in Retail, Digital Health, FinTech, InsurTech, Regulatory, and Compliance, seeking participation from early stage companies working on AI-based products and services ready for development and commercialisation.

Ken Finnegan, CEO of Tangent, Trinity’s ideas Workspace, said:

“The value and benefit for early stage startups participating on this world-class accelerator is enormous. The selected teams will have access to funding, the best minds across industry and academia to progress their organisation, and also access to a network of supports. Artificial Intelligence is changing the way we work and live; Tangent is proud to drive and support the next generation of cutting-edge companies.”

Allan Beechinor, CEO and co-founder of Altada, said:

“Alsessor is a pioneering five-month accelerator programme designed to support global early-stage AI companies at prototype or proof of concept phase. We have tailored the programme to support nascent businesses with bleeding edge innovations in AI who want to expedite their commercial development within an intense accelerator environment.”

Niamh Parker, co-founder of Altada added:

“Altada greatly benefited as participants of the CorkBIC International Security Accelerator so we know that the right support is critical at an early stage for startups to succeed. Having scaled successfully over the last number of years we are delighted to be in a position to partner with Tangent and share our experiences to help start-ups reach their potential. Participation in a programme like this could be the difference between a startup making it or not!”

A startup accelerator has immense benefits to entrepreneurs and innovators, offering exposure to domain expertise, mentorship, masterclasses and workshops.

Once a business completes the accelerator, they will have improved, refined and perfected elements of their business model, secured their intellectual property, defined the funding strategy and begun to commercially exploit the solutions being developed.
