Next Frontier AI is the Europe’s most radical initiative designed to discover and define the next paradigm of artificial intelligence.
Managed by SPRIND (Germany’s Federal Agency for Breakthrough Innovation), this initiative provides the funding, freedom, and ecosystem required to establish three new Frontier AI Labs in Europe.
After successful stops in Paris and Munich, Next Frontier AI is landing in Warsaw on April 22. A €125 million funding pool is now accessible to Polish teams:
10 selected European teams will each receive €3 million in non-dilutive funding (zero equity taken).
The top 3 teams can receive an additional €23.5 million over two years.
The Ultimate Goal: A structured path to raise up to €1B to build a full-scale European Frontier AI lab.
If you are an AI researcher or deep-tech founder working on the next breakthrough—whether it’s radical new architectures, world models, or agentic systems—this is the platform to scale your hypothesis.
The event features a high-caliber lineup of researchers, operators, and investors:
Carsten Dirks (SPRIND): Next Frontier AI Lead and former COO of Aleph Alpha.
Prof. Tomasz Trzciński (Warsaw University of Technology): Director of ELLIS Unit Warsaw and NeurIPS 2025 Best Paper recipient.
Prof. Krzysztof Pyrć (Foundation for Polish Science): Renowned virologist and head of the Jagiellonian University Virology Lab.
Aleksandra Pedraszewska (vastpoint): Deep tech VC and early leader at ElevenLabs.
Callum Hill (Creator Fund): Investor specializing in early-stage scientific founders and AI.
