In recent years, the European Commission has spearheaded initiatives to strengthen cooperation on AI across the EU, boosting the region’s competitiveness while fostering trust based on core European values.

One of the cornerstone tools in this endeavor is the European AI-on-Demand (AIoD) platform, designed to aggregate services from recent European and international research, making them accessible, usable, and extendable for AI innovators.

The session kicks off with a dynamic panel discussion featuring industry experts and SME leaders that will dive into the key obstacles faced by smaller businesses in adopting AI technologies and explore practical strategies for using AI to gain a competitive edge and unlock new opportunities.

We will then transition into an in-person matchmaking event, where AI solution providers—including SMEs, research organizations, and technology companies—can connect with businesses eager to integrate AI into their operations. Whether you’re an SME seeking to adopt AI tools or a provider looking to expand your network, this session offers the opportunity to form partnerships that will help shape the future of AI innovation in Europe.
