About Event

What if...AI fully transforms the future of science?

3 cities, 12 speakers, 450+ builders.

Join Pillar VC in London as we bring together founders, researchers, theorists, field-builders and funders - all building at the intersection of AI and science. This event is part of our AI for Science Series - connecting SF, London and Boston.

In our ‘Speakers’ Corner', we'll hear 15-minute visions for the future from:

👉 7.25 pm: Daniel Burkhardt - Digital Biology; NVIDIA: 'What if doing science was as easy as vibe coding?'
👉 7.45 pm: Jonathan Godwin - Encode Advisor; CEO, Orbital Materials: 'What if the most important AI company isn't a software company?'
👉 8.05 pm: Ant Rowstron - CTO, Advanced Research & Invention Agency (ARIA): 'What if AI Co-Scientists work?'
👉 8.45 pm: Philine Lou Bommer - Encode Fellow: 'What if AI could de-risk climate interventions without leaving the lab?'
👉 9.05 pm: Simon Kohl - Encode Advisor; CEO, Latent Labs: 'What if biology were programmable?'

We'll also celebrate applications opening for Cohort 2 of the Encode Fellowship - powered by the Advanced Research + Invention Agency (ARIA) and Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT). Applications close on 28th March 2026.

Join us.
