The event will bring together stakeholders from industry, research, government and the broader AI ecosystem to explore how organisations can access AI infrastructure, expertise and support services through BE-AIFA. The programme will combine policy perspectives, insights into the European AI Factories initiative, presentations of the BE-AIFA service offering, and real-world AI use cases from early adopters.
