AI in Manufacturing and Services

Experiences, opportunities and challenges of artificial intelligence for companies and institutions in Poland and Switzerland
29.10.2024

AI could turn out to be just as transformative and disruptive as the printing press or even the invention of writing. Companies and individuals that use it effectively may out-compete those who shun it.

The Polish-Swiss Innovation Day is an opportunity for experts, companies and policy-makers from both countries to learn from each other. Switzerland is a world leader in innovation, which attracted Google to build an R&D centre in Zurich in 2004 that remains its largest development centre outside of Silicon Valley. Poland has some of the world’s best programmers, many STEM graduates, and a growing presence of tech companies.

Register now and join the Polish-Swiss Innovation Day 2024 to learn how to use AI in manufacturing and services!
