AI & Gaming

Entrepreneurship Series

As the international market for digital games continues to experience a boom, the gaming and interactive entertainment industry has a growing need for technologies that capture, model, and enhance interaction between humans and the virtual world. The gaming industry is picking up on new technologies at an enormous rate and speed. In this fast-moving and highly competitive business environment, better interactivity between players and games and more efficiency through AI technologies are playing an ever-increasing role in game development.

With the upcoming Entrepreneurship Series event on the topic of “AI & Gaming”, Cyber Valley is addressing this potential. At this event, scientists will discuss current research challenges. What’s more, start-ups and investors will share their experiences and practical examples from the field.

Scientists, founders, students, and everyone interested in the topic is welcome to join us on Thursday, September 16, from 2 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.
