Join us for an evening with Aberdeen based entrepreneur Ben Stuart, as he shares the journey of how Aberdeen-based Leap AI, pivoted from the Oil and Gas sector to Food & Drink.
As part of Global Entrepreneurship Week 2024, join us for a conversation with Ben Stuart, CEO and Co-founder of Leap AI.
After a career at PWC in mergers and acquisition, and advising numerous companies on fundraising, Ben decided to take on a more entrepreneurial role. With this in mind, since 2017, Ben has focused on developing and commercialising new technologies that solve customers' challenges in novel ways including software, green tech and robotics.
More recently, Ben is both CEO and co-founder of Leap AI, an Aberdeen based robotics business that aims to bring the benefit of robotic automation and AI to companies of any scale.
Initially focused on industrial oil and gas robotics, Leap AI made a significant pivot to the food and drink sector in 2020. Ben will discuss how the team identified a gap in the market and navigated the challenges of transforming an idea into a successful product. This big move contributed to Leap AI securing 7.9 million in funding which is set to create new, highly skilled jobs and accelerate their cutting-edge robotic AI development.
