Gen AI: From Prototype to Scalable Adoption

From prototype to scale: how can startups and corporates collaborate to drive trusted GenAI adoption across industries?

How can we move from promising AI prototypes to real-world, enterprise-grade deployments — and what’s holding both startups and corporates back?
Why do so many Generative AI (GenAI) pilots stall, and how can we create the right conditions for scalable, trusted adoption across organizations of all sizes?

Join us for an exclusive, invitation-only event that brings together startups, enterprise innovation leaders, and AI research centres to explore both sides of the adoption journey. This session will delve into:

• How GenAI is transforming key sectors such as finance, health, and energy
• What enables or hinders adoption beyond the prototype phase — for startups and established companies
• Emerging collaboration models between corporates, startups, and ecosystem enablers
• The critical role of trust, governance, and the European AI Act in long-term adoption

The evening will feature opening insights, a keynote, an engaging panel discussion, and a networking cocktail.

Speakers confirmed :

• Iman Zolanvari, Jarvic.ai
• Anthony McLoughin, Better futures
