Last year we set out to prove that networking at business events doesn’t have to rely on luck. Now, together with the University of Zagreb Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computing (FER), we are turning MingleAI into a market-ready product.

Networking that doesn’t rely on luck
At most business events, meeting the right people is still a matter of chance. MingleAI changes that. Each participant gets a personal AI assistant that understands their interests and business goals, and helps them find the people and companies most worth meeting.
What makes MingleAI different is that interest has to be mutual. A suggested contact appears on your shortlist only when it makes sense for both sides, so every meeting starts with a shared reason to talk. MingleAI then helps arrange the meeting itself.
From idea to product
Our earlier proof of concept showed that the idea works. Over the next 32 months, we’ll develop it into a market-ready product, testing it with event organisers and at real events along the way, so that recommendations are relevant, trustworthy and leave users in control.
Research meets industry
The partnership with FER combines our product and engineering experience with leading academic expertise in artificial intelligence. The research results will also be shared with the scientific community through publications during the project.
Do you organise business events and want to join as a pilot partner? We’d love to hear from you.
