Startups for AI x Science @ ICML 2026

Together with my fellow Encode: AI for Science Fellows, McClain Thiel, Tim Reichelt and Jonathan Carter, I organised and hosted this breakfast before the second day of ICML 2026 in Seoul. The gathering brought together founders, researchers and builders working at the intersection of AI and science, with conversations spanning early-stage startups, the transition from research to commercialisation, and the infrastructure the field still needs.
