AI for Science Summit 2026

Hosted by Conception X, Turing Innovation Catalyst Manchester and ARIA.

As AI rewrites the rules of scientific discovery, new models of research translation are emerging, opening largely uncharted routes for scientists to turn breakthrough discoveries into technologies that will define the future.

We’re excited to introduce the second edition of our AI for Science Summit, designed for early-career scientists, PhD researchers with big ideas and early-stage founders building at the intersection of AI and science who are wondering how to build from their discoveries.

We’ll help you understand the concrete steps, structures and pathways available to turn ambitious research into companies and breakthroughs that matter.

We’ll have keynotes from Dave Lewis (ARIA), Liz Scott MBE (Turing Innovation Catalyst), Erwann Le Lannou (Sov AI) and Hannah Madan (Prima Mente); speaking alongside Henry Lee (Cultivarium), Dave Topping (University of Manchester), Nathan Skene (Imperial), Leah Morris (Pil
