Its imaging method is radiation free, nontouch, not painful and works for women of all ages. This unique solution can be used as a cancer diagnosis test in hospitals, for regular preventive health checkups, and for large-scale screening in rural and semi-urban areas. One of the key benefits for eligible startups participating in these programmes is access to up to $150,000 in Microsoft Azure credits. These credits can be applied towards leading AI models, including Azure OpenAI Service, Meta’s Llama and Microsoft’s own small language model, Phi. This enables rapid and efficient scaling using cloud services tailored for AI, big data and healthcare applications. Furthermore, startups will also receive 10,000 credits on NVIDIA’s GPU resources. This includes discounted access to the NVIDIA AI Enterprise Stack, which encompasses the full suite of NVIDIA Clara HLS computing platforms, software and services. Startups will also benefit from bespoke HLS go-to-market support, ensuring they have the necessary tools and guidance to bring their innovative solutions to market. The partnership between Microsoft for Startups and NVIDIA Inception is a testament to the power of collaboration in driving innovation, especially in highly regulated industries like HLS. By combining strengths and resources, Microsoft and NVIDIA are creating a supportive ecosystem for startups to thrive. This collaboration is not just about providing tools and resources; it is about empowering startups to make a real difference and improve access to high-quality care, around the globe.
