Techstars Belfast x The AMP x Invest NI

​The North West has the talent — but the tooling is moving fast and most people haven’t had the chance to get their hands on it.

​So we’re fixing that.

​Join us at The AMP in Derry for a day long AI build event — part crash course, part build sprint, entirely hands-on.

​The morning is a fast, practical introduction to AI: what the models actually do, how the tooling works, and where the real opportunities are for founders and operators right now. No slides-for-the-sake-of-slides. No theory without context. Just the stuff you need to know to start building.

​Then lunch. Then two hours to build something real.

​A workflow. A website. An agent. A product. Whatever you want — technical or not. You’ll have support, you’ll have the tools, and you’ll have a room full of people figuring it out alongside you.

​Expect rapid ideation, creative problem-solving, and plenty of “wait… that actually works.”

​Schedule:

• ​10:00 — Arrival + coffee

• ​10:15 – 12:30 — AI fundamentals: models, tools, and what’s actually useful

• ​12:30 – 13:00 — Lunch

• ​13:00 – 15:00 — Build sprint: two hours to ship something real

• ​15:00 – 15:15 — Show & tell

• ​15:30 — Close

​Who it’s for: founders, builders, operators, and anyone in the North West curious about building with AI — technical or non-technical. All levels welcome.

​Format: hands-on • limited spots • bring a laptop • bring ideas (or come and find one)

​Come to learn. Stay to build. Leave with something that works.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
