From an idea during the studies at Fontys to the finals of an AI competition!

Synthgen, founded by Fontys alumni Martin Tomov and Simeon Dimov, began as an idea whilst they were studying at Fontys ICT. They were part of the SPARC ICT incubator programme and combined their study programmes with entrepreneurship. They are now taking part in the AI Pitch Competition and have qualified for the final. This places the start-up amongst a fine group of ambitious AI entrepreneurs from the region.

Synthgen is developing solutions in the field of computer vision and is now fully focused on the next step: entering the market and collaborating with companies that wish to apply this technology in practice.

The AI Pitch Competition offers AI start-ups in Brabant the opportunity to present their solutions, connect with experts and companies, and further accelerate their growth.

For us, this is a great example of how an idea that originates whilst studying can grow into a start-up with ambitions that extend beyond the walls of the study programme.

The final will take place on 12 November at the Evoluon in Eindhoven. More info: https://lnkd.in/esiRzv6R

We wish Martin & Simeon the best of luck!
