This year at ICAISC, we’re proud to host a unique, full-day event that brings together the worlds of science, business, government, and innovation — all through the transformative lens of artificial intelligence.
On Tuesday, June 24, representatives from academia, government agencies, business leaders (as AI solution users), technology vendors (providing AI tools and platforms), and investors (supporting AI-driven startups) will come together for a day of exchange, inspiration, and dialogue.
Participants will experience:
Inspiring talks from leaders in AI research, business innovation, and government policy
Panel discussions exploring how to foster collaboration between science and industry
Conversations about public policy, including how governments can support AI ecosystems through regulation and funding
Focused sessions will explore real-world applications of AI across key sectors — from revolutionizing healthcare and driving energy transition, to bridging science with investment capital, and tackling the technical challenges
Networking opportunities to build connections across sectors
This event is your chance to see how these diverse communities can cooperate to drive innovation, achieve business success, and ensure AI is developed responsibly and inclusively.
Whether you're researching, building, investing, regulating, or implementing AI — this is where your worlds connect.
