GOALS

Is Central and Eastern Europe ready for the ongoing AI revolution? Does the region have what 
it takes to fully capture the economic, social and research potential of groundbreaking AI-driven technologies and to overcome new challenges of the digital era? Could it become a true AI powerhouse for the EU?

#CEE AI CHALLENGER FORUM & FEST 2025 is here to create a platform for interdisciplinary discussion on AI and exchange of ideas between Central Eastern European forward thinkers. 
The series of events will bring policy-makers, business leaders and researchers from across 
the region together to seek opportunities for AI advancement, foster cooperation in the field 
of development and adoption of AI in CEE countries and identify the most pressing challenges related to technological progress.

Building on the success of previous editions of AI Challenger Forum, keenly visited by business leaders, scientific community and public administration officials, this year, we will seek opportunities to develop and implement common strategies and approaches to AI in the region and the entire EU.  While Poland holds the presidency of the Council of the European Union - and has declared cybersecurity, AI, other digital technologies, cohesion of digital EU law and digital diplomacy as its digital priorities - we are expanding the scope of the event. #CEE AI CHALLENGER FORUM & FEST 2025 is here to allow free flow of ideas on the way AI affects policy-making, business environment, research, social order and much more. Join us to take a deep dive into AI’s impact on CEE and CEE’s role in shaping the AI revolution, during open, insightful discussion.

In 2025, we will discuss all things AI during three exciting events.
