AI startups can apply for one of the six accelerator places until July 22, 2022. Companies that are accepted into the program benefit from tailored services that the founders can put together based on their own growth targets.

Application

The K.I.E.Z. Accelerator primarily supports science-based AI startups founded in the vicinity of the four Berlin universities (Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin, and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin). Interested companies can apply for the Accelerator via the website www.kiez.ai/accelerator until July 22, 2022. For questions about the application process and the program, two Q&A sessions will be offered in June and July. The dates and further information can be found on the website.

Selection process

We are looking for promising founders with AI-based business solutions that solve relevant problems. Applied AI technologies must be relevant to the core product and the addressed markets should have sufficient potential for sustainable business success.

The application process is a two-step process: A pre-selection of 10 startups is made from the digitally submitted applications. The final decision will be made in the second round, in which the applicants will present to a jury of renowned experts. The final decision on the participants in the Fall Batch 2022 will be announced at the beginning of September 2022.
