Digital Catapult: Machine Intelligence Garage: The Best-Kept Secret Yet - DZone AI

I was at a meetup when Simon Knowles, CTO of Graphcore, was giving his talk on the latest development at Graphcore, and that is also where I met with Peter Bloomfield from Digital Catapult (@digicatapult). Peter was spreading the word about Machine Intelligence Garage which is an amazing opportunity created by a collaboration between the government and industry leaders like Google, Nvidia, AWS, etc. to help startups and small businesses access compute resources, which they would have otherwise never been able to get hold of. Sometime later, we decided to have a chat discussing the usual questions like what is Machine Intelligence Garage, what is the history, why, how, who, when, and at what stage is the program at and how do people get involved? As you would imagine, I found our conversation interesting and informative and hence decided to write about it and share it with the rest of us. Mani: Hey, Peter, great meeting you and learning about the initiative from Digital Catapult, can you please share with me the history about this initiative?
