AI Innovation Accelerator: Work with the next generation of AI engineers
What does it take to engineer AI systems that can reason, plan, use tools and execute complex tasks autonomously?
For engineering businesses, agentic AI opens up big questions and stronger possibilities. Find out where AI agents could fit in your business with the University of Surrey's next generation of engineers.
The London and South East AI Innovation Accelerator (AIIA) is a 30-month programme funded by Innovate UK and led by the University of Surrey in collaboration with Agent Build Club. It turns real business challenges into supervised MSc engineering dissertations in applied AI, preparing graduates for AI jobs in engineering industries.
Join Michael Kohn, Founder of Agent Build Club and Innovation Adviser, for a 45–minute online briefing to find out what the programme offers and how your business could take part.
