| Innovation Playground: Building Europe’s AI-Ready Public Sector with the BSC AI Factory | Wednesday 4 November 2026, from 11:40 to 12:25 | The session will examine how cities, regions, and public-sector organisations are navigating the transition from AI strategy to implementation, exploring how access to high-performance computing, scientific expertise, advanced AI evaluation capabilities, and multidisciplinary teams is helping governments implement AI responsibly and at scale. |
| AI X Cities: Pragmatic AI Sovereignty: a recipe to build Europe’s AI ecosystem | Thursday, 5 November 2026, from 10:30 to 10:50 | Europe’s AI sovereignty will not come from autarky, but from strategic control.
