AI Innovation & Entrepreneurship: A Private Gathering with MBZUAI

​Join Valkyrie Fund for a private afternoon of ideas, conversation, and connections as we welcome a delegation from Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), visiting Silicon Valley with Plug and Play.

​The gathering brings together university professors, AI company executives, AI startup founders, researchers, and investors to exchange perspectives on AI innovation, entrepreneurship, and bringing emerging technologies to market.

​Keynotes will be followed by a relaxed happy hour—an opportunity to exchange perspectives, meet the visiting delegation, and build connections between Silicon Valley and the UAE's AI communities.

​Attendance is by invitation only. Please RSVP to confirm your participation.

​We look forward to welcoming you.
