 Hibridni događaj



Organizers:
MIPRO and CroAi


Forum Purpose:

To operationalise the European AI and HPC strategy by connecting policy intent, digital infrastructure, industrial deployment, and economic impact, with a strong focus on Anorganic Intelligence, systemic AI adoption, HPC integration, and regulatory alignment.

The Economic AI and HPC Forum is positioned as a strategic flagship dialogue organised by MIPRO and CroAI, complementing MIPRO's 17 ICT scientific conferences (more than 400 papers) by focusing on:

  • transition towards Anorganic Intelligence,   
  • infrastructure development,
  • Enterprise AI Readiness Proactivity  (Agentic AI) and Reactivity
    (Generative  AI),
  • economic impact  transition.


The Forum aims to present the EU’s strategic frameworks, as well as the technological and infrastructural environments for the development of a smart industry powered by AI and HPC—encompassing both large enterprises and SMEs.

It will further articulate a forward-looking vision of Anorganic Intelligence as the next evolutionary layer beyond conventional AI—enabling autonomous, system-level, and infrastructure-embedded intelligence.
 

Objectives:
  • Position AI as a strategic economic ecosystem
  • Frame AI as a driver of sovereignty and competitiveness
  • Introduce the concept of Anorganic Intelligence beyond narrow AI
  • Europe’s AI ambition within the Digital Decade 2030
  • Strategic autonomy, resilience, and economic security
  • Transition from innovation policy to industrial AI policy
  • Supporting the “new industrial stack” through a robust financial ecosystem
