​
150 attendees, consisting of passionate young talents, subject matter experts, and leading businesses gathered to build a strong network and learn from each other.
18 sessions of workshops and speeches delivered insights in the fields of artificial intelligence, the future of work and digital education.
The summit bridged the gap between two of today’s most pressing challenges: how can we empower more individuals to create positive impact with AI and better understand today's changing world? And how can we use the power of AI to finally make effective digital education accessible for everyone?

"The vast majority of us here today has no idea of how this technology actually works. What I'm wondering is: how should we, as citizens, be able to make wise political decisions if we do not understand what's possible and what is not. [...] There is now an increasing gap between those who design the change and those who are left behind. Because they lack the skills or the means to adapt. Once again technology races ahead, and education falls behind."
