The Artificial Intelligence sector in Catalonia is much more real than the general public is aware of. It has great potential and is able to generate opportunities for a large number of economic and social sectors. To take advantage of these opportunities, some strategic key points must be taken into account.

During this conference, a well-known industry expert will reflect on these and other issues, providing a general overview as guidance, useful for all types of professionals and entrepreneurs.
