The AI revolution needs more creators. While intelligent technologies are transforming entire industries and redefining how we live and work, the real breakthroughs will come from those who combine bold ideas with practical action.
At Novalytica, we are convinced that the next wave of AI innovation will be led by individuals and teams who are ready to tackle real-world challenges with intelligent solutions.
That’s why we are launching the Novalytica AI Incubator Programme: to support early-stage innovators in turning their ideas into working prototypes with the right guidance, funding and necessary tools.
The Novalytica AI Incubator is designed for aspiring AI entrepreneurs, researchers, and early-stage startups working on cutting-edge ideas that deserve a strong start. You do not need to have a company yet—just a compelling idea, relevant expertise, and the ambition to build something impactful.
Whether you are refining a novel algorithm, developing an AI-powered product, or exploring new frontiers in applied machine learning—this is your launchpad.
To help you develop a market-ready AI product or service.
By the end of the program, you will have built a validated prototype, shaped by expert input and practical experience, with a clear path toward real-world application and market entry.
We are looking for individuals or teams who:
We are especially interested in innovations in sectors/domains where we can create strong synergies and provide deep support, including:
Our experts will help you find the right solution for your requirements. Whether you want to create a scalable environment for machine learning or optimize your data architecture - we are at your side as a competent partner.
Receive up to CHF 50,000 in funding to support the development of your AI project throughout the program. The total amount available per project may vary depending on scope, timeline, and resource needs, with the program typically running for 6 to 12 months.
Collaborate with seasoned professionals in AI, data science, and product development. From system architecture and algorithm design to product-market fit and go-to-market strategies, our experts work closely with you to shape a solution that is both technically sound and commercially viable.
Get access to the tools, infrastructure, and mentorship you need to move fast. This includes cloud computing credits, curated datasets, workspace access at our office, and regular feedback sessions with the Novalytica team. We provide the essentials so you can focus on building.
Novalytica is a fast-growing Swiss data science and AI company, already making its mark with partners like Microsoft and AWS. As part of our incubator, you will gain direct access to a strong network of experts, collaborators, and industry leaders.
Unlike traditional accelerators, our incubator is not one-size-fits-all. We emphasize deep collaboration, tailored technical input, and milestone-based progress. You will get what you need when you need it—from refining your core tech to preparing investor-ready materials.
Your journey does not end when the program does. For high-potential projects, we are open to continuing the journey together—whether through extended collaboration, strategic support, or helping bring your solution to market. We believe in building long-term relationships that go beyond early-stage development.
