This week, I had the fantastic opportunity to attend the Deep Tech Summit as a representative of ARK-X Talent Factory, and it truly opened my eyes to the huge potential of deep tech! Here’s what I found particularly exciting: AI and Machine Learning: We delved deep into how artificial intelligence and machine learning are shaping the future, especially in emerging markets like Africa. The discussions revolved around how these technologies are pivotal in advancing sectors from agriculture to healthcare. Innovative Startups: Witnessing the vibrancy of the startup scene was exhilarating. Moroccan startups are increasingly influential, driving forward with AI and ML solutions that are setting benchmarks for innovation globally. Scientific Breakthroughs: The summit also spotlighted the latest scientific advancements that underpin these technologies. From quantum computing to genomic tech, the range of topics illustrated Africa’s role in the next wave of global tech evolution. Sustainable Tech: With a strong focus on sustainability, conversations on renewable energy and smart battery solutions underscored the critical need for green technologies. The summit wasn’t just about observing; it was about engaging and networking through panels, chats, and masterclasses with international experts. I’m eager to leverage these insights at ARK-X and contribute to transforming ideas into impactful projects. #DeepTech #AI #MachineLearning #Innovation #Science #Sustainability #Startups #ARKX #DeepTechSummit

At Hoxton Ventures, our fund is premised on the idea that European founders would start and win the industry categories of tomorrow. Our latest investment, leading a $30 million seed round in CuspAI, alongside Basis Set and Lightspeed, exemplifies this. Co-founded by AI pioneer Max Welling and deep-tech commercialization expert Alyn Chad Edwards, CuspAI is leveraging generative AI, deep learning, and molecular simulation to completely change the material design process. Their platform acts like a search engine for materials, enabling the rapid generation and evaluation of novel structures with specific functionalities - and opens up huge opportunities for AI-designed materials to be used in carbon capture and storage, a critical technology for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This industry alone is projected to be worth $4 trillion by 2050. It’s clear to us that AI has the ability to shake up how we design materials. CuspAI has assembled some of the best people in the world to do this, starting with both Chad and Max. They’ve also pulled in two of the leading figures in the AI industry, Geoffrey Hinton, sometimes described as the ‘Godfather of AI,’ who is joining Cusp’s advisory board, and Yann LeCun, Chief AI Scientist at Meta, and who posted on X about the company. Congratulations to the CuspAI team! https://lnkd.in/eq8ea_24
