Fetch.ai has established an innovation lab at Imperial College London’s White City Campus in collaboration with IX, Imperial College London’s research institute, according to an announcement on Thursday. The new lab will focus on advancing artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and autonomous systems.

Through its innovation lab, Fetch.ai aims to create innovative solutions to address global challenges. The team expects to foster collaboration between industry, academia and students to push the boundaries of AI for real-world applications.

“We are excited to continue working with IX on this pioneering initiative,” said Sana Wajid, Chief Development Officer of Fetch.ai Innovation Labs. “Together, we aim to create a vibrant ecosystem that fosters innovation, nurtures talent and brings together academia, industry and government to drive meaningful technological advances.”

The Fetch.ai Innovation Lab has three main goals, including “Accelerating AI-Based Innovation”, “Fetch.ai Ambassadors Innovator Club” and “Fetch.ai Internship Incubator Program”.

Through the Startup Accelerator, Fetch.ai aims to support early-stage startups and help them become industry leaders in AI. The project has allocated $10 million in funding to support AI projects globally, including in San Francisco, India and London.

The Ambassador Program will provide hackathons, workshops and networking opportunities to foster innovative ideas and empower innovators to create AI applications using autonomous agents.

The incubator program will offer internships, giving talented individuals hands-on experience working on real-world AI projects. The lab will also hold workshops and events to promote learning and showcase successful AI applications.

“We look forward to continuing our partnership with Fetch.ai and participating in this exciting initiative,” said Professor Sophia Yaliraki, IX Co-Director for Engagement. “IX’s involvement in the Innovation Lab marks another significant step in our mission to catalyze societal change through AI and digital technologies.”

According to Professor Yaliraki, the partnership will create a vibrant ecosystem that nurtures talent, facilitates collaboration between academia and industry and drives significant technological advances. This includes bringing together academia, policy makers and the community to create robust AI solutions that serve the public good.

Fetch.ai’s London-based innovation lab is making its debut following the successful opening of its San Francisco lab in August. The new lab is open to partnerships with industries and organizations interested in AI research, industrial PhDs and collaborations on AI-based solutions.
