Highlights<\/h2>\n

\u25feInnovation must be a priority. We must translate proven models from abroad into local success. <\/p>\n

\u25feThe development of the region is crucial. Central and Eastern Europe has the potential to develop into a center of competitiveness – if we combine the forces of business, science, government and communities. <\/p>\n

\u25feAI is the future. Artificial intelligence plays a crucial role in the transformation of business, education and healthcare. <\/p>\n

\u25feWe think big. Only ambitious goals lead to groundbreaking results. <\/p>\n
