Galway city's PorterShed has launched an AI support programme for businesses known as AI Accelerator
After a highly competitive selection process, ten companies from Galway, Belfast, Dublin, Limerick, Cork, Kilkenny, and Wexford were chosen
The 12-week programme is designed to transform AI-first startups and corporate innovation teams into globally competitive ventures
It gives participants exclusive access to Orbit, MIT’s AI-powered platform designed specifically for entrepreneurs
In addition, PorterShed has partnered with the Irish Centre for High-End Computing (ICHEC) to give participating startups access to powerful computing resources
This support will allow teams to develop and test their AI products much more efficiently
