Released today - The full list of startups who made it on the AI Hot 100 Market Map 2025. Catch them at the Summit on June 26th.

After months of rigorous research and curation, we are proud to officially launch the AI Hot 100 Market Map 2025 highlighting the Hot 100 startups building in AI. The full report will be given to the attendees at the Summit on June 26th before being released more widely.

This year, we focused on specific applications of AI within industry - honing in on financial services, healthcare and retail, alongside a run of startups sitting at the more general level (i.e. building infrastructure or applications that can be applied across industries).

We have vetted and curated startups with enterprise grade solutions that are production ready for wide scale implementation, to be showcased to AI business executives and to supercharge the application of AI in industry in 2025.

Thanks to our board of advisors and committee of AI experts, technologists and industry vertical experts who helped us with the selection.
