​Bio x AI Hackathon at Entrepreneur First London

​Could you be one of the exceptional biologist or machine learning innovators selected to participate in EF's second annual, weekend-long Bio x AI Hackathon?

​​Join a curated group of talented scientists and engineers with diverse skills and backgrounds, united by a shared mission; to drive breakthroughs in biology through leveraging cutting-edge artificial intelligence.

This year, we're excited to announce partnerships with Amino Collective, an early-stage venture capital firm that invests in health and bio to help life-changing ideas come to life, and Valence Labs, who will provide access to their Polaris platform – a powerful new tool that allows the ML community working on drug discovery problems to easily share and access datasets.
Additionally, Nebius will provide H100 GPUs to help power the participants’ innovative AI projects throughout the event. Winning teams will receive cloud credit to continue their projects after hacking.

​If you're a skilled biologist or machine learning specialist eager to collaborate with other world-class technologists and develop AI-enabled tools that address some of the most ambitious challenges in biology, this hackathon is tailor-made for you!
