“At a time when AI is booming, founding a deep-tech company may seem like a simple and logical choice; everyone wants AI today. But even the best idea is not enough, it needs to be validated and successfully brought to market. And it is this crucial path to market success that Technology Incubation has made possible, and we could not have done it without its support. The opportunity to present our breakthrough visions and successes to date in front of experienced investors and innovation leaders during the demo day is an invaluable way to validate the enormous potential of our solution. Today’s win by the Scicake team is a well-deserved reward for more than a year of intense effort and clear evidence that we are on our way to revolutionizing the industry,” Ján Mucha, co-founder and CEO of Scicake , comments on the win .
