AI Assistant Helps Startups with Funding Applications
During the autumn, the City of Tampere has been testing the use of an AI assistant to help startups better assess their investment readiness and find the most suitable ways to increase their chances of securing funding.
Startup.Tampere at Slush 2023.
The trial aimed to test the functionality of AI-based services and evaluate the readiness and willingness of Tampere-based startups to use AI as part of their business development.
– We received several valuable funding contacts through the AI service, and we’re now in touch with them, said one of the startup entrepreneurs who participated in the trial.
Feedback indicates that the trial has been successful, and startups have benefitted from using the service.
– The feedback will guide the design of future services, says Joni Ramu, Senior Specialist at the City of Tampere.
The service is still available to support startups, including those preparing for the Slush event.
