Let's talk about the Future of AI Use Cases

Emerging AI use cases in areas like autonomous agents, tourism, logistics, healthcare, and public service automation — beyond the standard AI narratives. Next-gen AI architectures, exploring how cutting-edge models are built, deployed, and scaled. The connectivity backbone required to support AI-driven systems—real-time data exchange, edge computing, and intelligent network orchestration. The societal shifts that widespread AI autonomy could bring. Marios Nicolaou, BD Director, p-NET Nineta Polemi, Professor / CTO, UPRC / trustilio Ali Hantal, Founder & CEO, XR Masters Arturs Vasilevskis, CEO and Chairman of the Board, Tilde Tiago C.

Digitalization & Sustainability: Driving Tomorrow's Competitiveness

Digitalization as a driver of sustainable growth. How can digital tools boost efficiency and innovation while also advancing environmental and social goals? Competitiveness through responsibility. Why combining digital innovation with sustainability builds resilience, attracts talent, and earns customer and investor trust. How are public and private sector currently approaching digitalization and sustainability? Where we see the biggest challenges or gaps in adopting these practices effectively? What mechanisms — such as policy incentives, public–private collaboration, and procurement models — can effectively embed sustainability together with digitalization? If there are examples – how LVM integrate this in organization processes? How public sector and finance sector sees it?

Tech, Trade, and Tensions: The Role of Digital Technologies in Times of Global Power Struggles

How can digital technologies serve as tools for diplomacy and international cooperation? Should Europe push for greater digital independence, or is collaboration with global tech giants as well as other regions of the world inevitable? How does the European Union balance their interests and workings with geopolitical pressures? How effective are digital sanctions as economic tools, and do they have unintended consequences? What are the technologies that our speakers are focusing at the moment, where should our attention and funding be pointed at?

From Global Strategies to Local Benefits: Which Tech Advancements Matter to Everyone

What are the technologies that our speakers are focusing at the moment in their organizations, where should our attention and funding be pointed at? In a world of rapid technological change, how can we ensure that digital transformation makes societies safer, not more vulnerable? Technology is often seen as a tool for growth, but increasingly it is also becoming a tool for competition and control. How do we navigate the line between global cooperation and strategic autonomy in critical tech sectors?

Private 5G Networks - Essential Infrastructure or Expensive Experiment?

Why choose a private 5G network over Wi-Fi or a public mobile network? What specific use cases justify the investment? The open networks movement seems to be slowing in public networks but gaining traction in private ones—why is that, and what does it mean for future deployments? Can operators of venues, campuses, or ports monetize premium connectivity services in new ways? Are private networks a stepping stone toward more flexible, software-defined mobile networks overall—or are they creating new silos?
