Sovereign AI: The Startup Perspective | AI Breakfast Club

A morning panel on what sovereign AI actually means for startups: where the UK stands against other countries, which initiatives are already running, and what the next 12 to 24 months look like for anyone building in the space. Twin Path Ventures hosts, with Alistair Pullen, CEO and cofounder of Cosine, Karl Havard, CCO of Era4, Meryem Arik, CEO and cofounder of Doubleword, and Dom Hallas, Executive Director of the Startup Coalition. Registration and breakfast from 08:30, panel and audience Q&A from 09:00, networking from 10:00. Sponsored by Barclays Eagle Labs, Twin Path Ventures and Google Cloud. Free, but registration needs the organiser's approval, and there are separate startup, investor and ecosystem tickets. The ecosystem allocation is already full. The organisers share contact details with their partners. Why go: four people who build and fund UK-trained models, in a room small enough to ask them something directly. Best for founders and infrastructure leads weighing on-premise or UK-hosted deployment, and investors covering the space.
