CyberCat is a network of researchers established in 2022 with the common goal to develop leading-edge knowledge in categorical cybernetics and applied category theory, and to show its economic usefulness. The Institute for Categorical Cybernetics was incorporated as a non-profit in 2024 to provide an institutional backbone for the network’s activities. Its purpose is to support CyberCat’s whole innovation pipeline from basic research to spinning off high-tech ventures. At the basic research level, it coordinates research activities among its members including funding and joint implementation of research projects, as well as hosting informal and formal events. At the other end of the funnel, the Institute acts as an incubator for ventures with the express goal to discover and commercialize economically useful technologies.
