AI is rapidly becoming a strategic driver of innovation, productivity and competitiveness. At the same time, organizations face growing challenges around digital dependency, transparency, energy use and governance. Addressing these challenges requires new forms of collaboration across sectors and across the AI value chain.

The Impact Acceleration Challenge was created to accelerate practical innovation, shared learning and collaboration around these themes, bringing together organisations that want to actively contribute to the future of sustainable and sovereign AI.

Over the past three months, a group of almost 100 experts and professionals has worked extensively on ideas and solutions for sustainability and sovereignty of AI systems. Join us on Thursday, 18 June for the closing event to experience outcomes of this challenge.

Programme highlights

During the afternoon, participating teams will present their ideas and lessons learned, followed by reflections, dialogue and networking across the ecosystem. The event also offers an opportunity to explore how collaboration around sustainable and sovereign AI can continue beyond the challenge itself.
