​Cybernova Accelerator: Redefining the AI Research-to-Market Ecosystem

​Hosted by Cyber Creation Ventures (CCV) × Institute of AI for Science, Peking University Shenzhen Graduate School (Institute of AI4Sci, PKU)

​​In the new era of AI-powered scientific research, one question stands at the forefront of the global innovation agenda: How can we build an efficient pathway from breakthrough technologies to real-world applications?

​Cyber Creation Ventures (CCV) and Institute of AI4Sci, PKU proudly announce the launch of Cybernova Accelerator—a dedicated platform for accelerating the commercialization of AI-driven scientific research. By combining a systematic framework with an open, collaborative ecosystem, Cybernova Accelerator aims to fast-track transformative technologies from the lab to the market.

​Building a New Research-to-Market Ecosystem🔍

​Cybernova Accelerator is born from a shared vision between Institute of AI4Sci, PKU — a leading academic hub in AI + Science with a strong track record in technology transfer — and Cyber Creation Ventures (CCV), an early-stage global investment firm with deep expertise in commercialization, industry integration, and capital acceleration.

​Through an “Academia-Driven, Commercially-Empowered” model, Cybernova is built on three pillars:

• ​End-to-End Acceleration Mechanism🧩
  From technology discovery through market launch, Cybernova provides an integrated pathway covering technology evaluation, commercial validation, market acceleration, financing, and industry integration — ensuring expert support at every stage.

• ​Open Innovation Ecosystem🤝
  An inclusive network of academic mentors, industry leaders, investors, and government partners offers comprehensive support including mentorship, technical guidance, market access, and capital acceleration, fostering a sustainable innovation environment.

• ​Global Acceleration Platform🌏
  Flagship events such as the annual Cybernova Demo Day and AI+Science Commercialization Summit, complemented by regularly organizing project roadshows, technology sharing sessions, and industry matchmaking events, accelerating the journey from lab to market.
