Make the most of your company with AI #FlandersAI

Flanders AI Forum 2024

20 Oct 2026 09:30 - 18:00

The development of AI continues at lightning speed. This does not only apply to those who are applying AI in their company for the first time, it is also not easy for those who have already integrated AI to keep up. How do you get started with AI responsibly? How are other companies implementing artificial intelligence? And how does this make your business a lot easier? On 11 June, you will meet the Flemish experts in the field of AI and Flemish AI ecosystems in Ghent and you will have the opportunity to ask them all your questions. #FlandersAI
