R&D and AI in 2026 – key boosters for business and education

About the event

The modern business services sector is increasingly activating research and development (R&D) and AI-based areas. These topics first debuted at the Katowice conference in 2025 and will be updated and expanded for the 2026 edition.

The event’s scope will cover not only the BSS sector but also the industrial sector. R&D and AI will be discussed by experts from the business world, academia, and local government.

As technology strengthens its presence across various industries, this conference provides a tangible and practical look at this transformation.

The event will be conducted in Polish.

We cordially invite you to participate in the event. We also inform you that the day before the conference, a networking event, Talk & Drinks with Friends, will be held at the Mały Kredens Pub, in which conference participants can also participate. Separate registration is required for this event, which can be completed on the TALKS&DRINKS website.
