AI & Big Data Conference 2026 Regional AI Valley is the leading regional forum dedicated to the practical application of Artificial Intelligence and Big Data across key sectors of the economy and public governance.
The primary objective of the event is to provide a platform for strategic dialogue and hands‑on collaboration between companies, governments, financial institutions, the defence sector, and the research community. The conference focuses not on theory, but on the tangible impact of AI and Big Data on business competitiveness, the efficiency of public services, financial resilience, and national security.
The conference programme features keynote addresses by international experts in AI and Big Data, alongside senior government representatives who will share strategic perspectives, regulatory approaches, and examples of the real impact of these technologies across different sectors. Special attention is devoted to practical case studies of AI and Big Data implementation in business, public administration, education, research, defence, and dual‑use industries.
The programme includes dedicated thematic tracks:
- Business — AI as a driver of growth, operational efficiency, and decision‑making for SMEs and large enterprises.
- Policy & Defence — AI, Big Data, and cybersecurity in the context of national resilience, defence, critical infrastructure, and policy formation.
- Finance — applications of AI in banking, fintech, risk management, compliance, and financial analytics.
A separate conference block is devoted to ecosystems and international cooperation — discussions on cross‑border partnerships and the role of government, business, academia, and society in fostering innovation, as well as shaping a shared AI space across Central and Eastern Europe.
An essential component of the event is high‑level networking, enabling participants to establish strategic connections with industry leaders, policymakers, regulators, and technology experts, laying the foundations for future partnerships and joint projects.
