Through this call, LLM-BRIDGE will select 30 EU-based early-stage start-ups to participate into the 12-week Venture Incubation Programme (VIP).The selected start-ups will get structured training, mentoring, access to technical expertise and AI infrastructure. The top five start-ups from the programme will be selected to participate in a Demo Day, where they will connect directly with the AI ecosystem and be awarded €25,000.
The programme offers strong strategic and operational benefits, including integration into the LLM-BRIDGE network and collaboration with leading stakeholders such as ALT-EDIC, 28DIGITAL, ADRA, national AI coalitions, and HPC providers.
Overall, the VIP will position the selected incubator at the forefront of Europe’s GenAI innovation, strengthening its market position, expanding long-term partnerships, and embedding it within a sustainable, pan-European framework for AI-driven entrepreneurship.
