How can artificial intelligence address the main challenges facing your sector? What opportunities are there to collaborate with other organisations in the design and validation of innovative AI-based solutions?

In this hybrid workshop, the progress made by the BSC AI Factory Sectoral Hubs will be presented, an initiative promoted by BSC-CNS to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence in strategic sectors through collaboration between companies, public administrations, technology centres, startups and other stakeholders in the AI ecosystem.

During the plenary session, we will share the main achievements of the hubs, the activities carried out so far and the next steps of the project. In addition, in-person attendees will have the opportunity to take part in a networking session aimed at encouraging the exchange of experiences and creating new collaboration opportunities among organisations within the AI ecosystem.

In the second part of the workshop, in-person attendees will participate in collaborative sectoral activities to review and validate the main challenges identified during the first workshop, prioritise them and jointly advance the definition of high-impact AI use cases.

The activities will be organised around the following sectoral hubs:

  • Health, Pharma & Biotech
  • Agriculture, Climate & Blue Economy
  • Energy
  • Finance & Legal
  • Communication & Media

These sessions will help consolidate the most relevant challenges in each sector, identify innovation opportunities and lay the foundations for the development of future AI solutions in collaboration with the different stakeholders involved.

This workshop will be held in a hybrid format, allowing participants either to attend in person or to follow the plenary session online via Microsoft Teams. The sectoral activities will be held exclusively in person.
