AI Incubator

Is your company ready to embrace new innovations and learn how AI can grow your business? You’ve got the enthusiasm, but taking the first digital steps feels uncertain – how could your company make the most of AI in practice?

AIStart’s AI Incubator is a free seven-week training program for micro and SME companies eager to explore the possibilities of AI without needing a technical background. The program is especially designed for businesses looking to take their first steps in areas like sales, marketing, and customer service.

The training combines in-person and online sessions where participants gain clear tools and practical insights into AI. Throughout the program, companies work on their own development projects and create an action plan for adopting AI in their daily operations.

At the beginning, we’ll clarify what AI is – and more importantly, how it can make everyday work smoother and more efficient. You’ll learn to identify which processes can benefit from AI and which tools can get you started right away. From there, we move into concrete business development: how AI can support decision-making, automate tasks, and unlock new perspectives in data use.

“AIStart has been an excellent course for a beginning entrepreneur. It has helped me realize that AI doesn’t take away what my core expertise is – instead, it gives me the opportunity to focus on it even better.”

The core of the training focuses on sales and marketing. We explore how AI can help analyze target groups, optimize customer journeys, create engaging content, and plan impactful campaigns.

The AI Incubator is perfect for entrepreneurs and employees who want to strengthen their company’s competitiveness and keep pace with digital transformation. This is an easy and accessible start to the world of AI – come learn, experiment, and grow with us!
