From Idea to Scale - Accelerating Product Development with GenAI

Share this event

Moving from an early idea to a scalable product requires startups to develop, test, and iterate efficiently—often with limited time, resources, and engineering capacity. Emerging generative AI capabilities are creating new opportunities for engineering teams to streamline development and move innovations forward.


This workshop explores how startups can leverage new GenAI capabilities within engineering software, including MATLAB and Simulink, to accelerate development and move more efficiently from concept toward a scalable product.


Led by MathWorks, this session will highlight how these capabilities can support engineering and product development workflows while introducing resources available through the MathWorks Accelerator & Startup Program.


Attendees will leave with a better understanding of how GenAI can support their development process and how MathWorks resources may help accelerate their path from idea to market. 
 

Lunch will be provided.

Who Should Attend

  • Hardtech and deeptech founders developing technology-enabled products

  • Engineering and technical teams interested in incorporating GenAI into development workflows

  • Startups currently using or interested in MATLAB and Simulink

  • Founders looking for engineering tools, technical support, and startup resources

  • Early-stage companies moving from concept and prototyping toward scalable products


About the Organization


MathWorks develops MATLAB and Simulink, software used by engineers and scientists to analyze data, develop algorithms, and design, simulate, and test systems. Through its Accelerator & Startup Program, MathWorks provides eligible startups with access to software, engineering expertise, training, and co-marketing resources to support product development and growth.
