The AI revolution needs more creators. While smart technologies are reshaping entire industries and redefining the way we live and work, the real breakthroughs will come from those who combine bold ideas with practical action.
At Novalytica, we believe that the next wave of AI innovation will be led by individuals and teams ready to tackle real-world challenges with smart solutions.
That’s why we’re launching the Novalytica AI Incubator program: to help early-stage innovators turn their ideas into working prototypes with the right guidance, funding and tools.
The Novalytica AI Incubator Program is aimed at aspiring AI entrepreneurs, researchers and early-stage startups working on innovative ideas that deserve a strong start. You don’t need to have founded a company yet; what counts is a compelling idea, relevant expertise and the will to create something with impact.
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.
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.
