Start Your AI Journey Faster With Microsoft & Ascent.

One in six UK organisations has already embraced at least one AI use case, from data analysis to natural language processing and creative content generation (Forbes 2023). But knowing where to start - and where to go next - is often complex.

Join us for an unmissable morning as we explore Generative AI from both a technical and hands-on design perspective – and leave with a custom solution blueprint you can turn into a working prototype, potentially 100% funded by Microsoft.*
