Poland in Sweden

Artificial Intelligence

opportunities for business cooperation

between Poland and Sweden

The Embassy of the Republic of Poland in Stockholm

would like to hereby invite to a webinar

The aim of the event will be to present the challenges, barriers and expectations of entities using artificial intelligence in Poland and Sweden. Investments are a key challenge for the development of artificial intelligence - only 1.5 billion euro is generated from European funds, while the real needs are several times greater. It is necessary to create a regulatory environment and an investor-friendly environment. It is crucial that business and research cooperate in order to achieve more on the market. During the webinar, the following issues will be brought up:

1. Where are the greatest challenges and threats, including barriers in artificial intelligence?

2.How do you see the future of artificial intelligence (with or without an EU regulation)?

3. How can we foster infrastructure sharing and data sharing?

4. How can Poland and Sweden cooperate in the field of artificial intelligence?
