AI is the tool. Human possibility is the point.

Founder Fest is not a conventional conference. It is a hands-on festival where people use AI, technology, expertise and creativity to build, test and create.

Who it's for

500 to 800 founders, SME owners, professionals and future builders. A one-day festival where people use AI, agentic AI and expert help to build things, experiment and solve real problems. Build Labs, challenges, expert clinics and open experimentation, all in one place.

What happens next

Founder Fest introduces people to agentic AI, surfaces problems worth solving, identifies founders and talent, and creates a pipeline into longer-term programmes, incubators and accelerators.
