CBS AI · SPRING 2026
The people behind it.
CBS AI Academy is student-led. The team building and running this programme are themselves CBS students — driven by a belief that structured, hands-on AI education should exist at a business school.
THE TEAM
Built by students, for students.
Four co-founders. One shared mission — to build the most credible, hands-on AI programme at Copenhagen Business School.

Co-Founder
Operations Lead
Mathias co-founded CBS AI Academy and is the operational backbone of the programme — shaping the workshop design, the learning journey, and the structure that turns a good idea into something credible and executable. His relentless attention to detail is what makes the whole thing hold together.
