Each one of us has their very important moment of the year. To us in CroAI, that is when we all get together at our annual AI2FUTURE conference. This year, it’s happening on October 14-15 in the factory of chocolate dreams or, at least once a year, the factory of artificial intelligence ideas – Kraš Zagreb.
The circumstances we live in currently have taken away from us way too many opportunities to mingle in person. That robbed us of the positive energy and creativity, as they simply do not happen online. Therefore, do not waste another moment! Save the date(s) in your calendar and join us for two days in October in sharing ideas, meeting new people, and seeing best AI examples from Croatia and beyond.
We surveyed the Croatian scene again to upgrade the AI landscape and add all relevant companies, institutions and organizations on the map, everyone that is marching towards the tech future together, and we will showcase the AI Landscape 2.0. Furthermore, we’ve gathered all the main actors in developing the national AI strategy. And no, we’re not talking about the document, but the specific thought exchange from people in the industry and the government, as we want to find out what needs to be done and by whom to create space (infrastructure, regulation, support, system) in which creating new technology will be a welcomed opportunity. We’ll talk with Infobip, Photomath, CISEx, just to name a few…
That “space” includes one very important agenda – AI sandbox. If you’re thinking of a rectangular playground filled with sand where kids play and build sandcastles, yup, something like that, but for grownups and real life. We believe that it makes sense for us as a country and industry to choose a direction or area in which organizations (companies, academia, associations, etc.) can “play” with applications and algorithms and create new innovative solutions. And yes, that area does have to be enclosed, as in, have rules one must play by. The rules that protect those involved, but
also give enough freedom to be creative. That is why we will hear the examples from Austria, Slovenia, Norway, but also our own courtyard, so we can create a solid basis for conversation and conclusions.
Last year, Robotiq.ai sat on the throne of the first ever CroAI pitching session. This brought them to EUR 900k of investment, and yet, it was only the first time we’ve organized something like that. So, just imagine what awaits the winner of this year’s pitch that will be chosen by the jury of 10 European VC funds and local investors among the 10 pre-selected AI startups!
The second day of conference will be the crème de la crème of technology. Like every year, only the premieres will be on the stage. The chosen companies will talk what they did in the last 12 months and what’s coming up and give concrete examples of their work. Many interesting things are brewing, but we will not reveal everything just yet. Stay tuned, as the schedule will come out soon!
Of course, this spectacular event would not happen without the support of our loving partners: Photomath & A1 (TOP partnerr), Ascalia, BonsAI, Robotiq, Megatrend, Poslovna inteligencija, and TIS group… for now.
We hope we got your juices flowing. If yes, get your ticket ASAP, while we still have the early bird price!
