Startupbootcamp, Europe’s leading accelerator (Financial Times, 2024), has announced the ten startups that will participate in the second cycle of its AIvolution; AI & Web3 Accelerator. The accelerator, running in the Dutch HQ in Amsterdam, is a key part of Startupbootcamp's focus on fostering innovation in the rapidly evolving fields of artificial intelligence and Web3 technologies.

This accelerator not only aims to foster innovations at the forefront of the AI and Web3 domain but also to support startups in developing sustainable business practices that align with the global digital transformation trends.

From over 3,000 applications, only 20 startup teams were shortlisted to participate in the Selection Day event. These teams presented their concepts to a curated panel of investors, industry leaders, mentors, partners, and the Startupbootcamp team.
