The PLEXUS Advancement Award for Artificial Intelligence
The transformation of finance through AI and machine learning is in full swing. The PLEXUS Award for Artificial Intelligence in the Financial Sector has been awarded annually by PLEXUS Investments since 2020. The Award is endowed with 10,000 Euros, which will benefit the winners’ further research on AI and machine learning in the financial sector. The award is open to students and doctoral candidates. We are proud to support new developments with the award.
