Πώς το AI, η Καινοτομία και η Science Diplomacy μπορούν να μετατρέψουν την Κύπρο σε περιφερειακό κόμβο επιρροής και ανάπτυξης.

Artificial Intelligence is driving a global shockwave, rapidly transforming economies, industries and national competitiveness. This keynote explores global AI adoption trends, the economic and competitive implications of accelerated AI deployment, and the emerging role of AI agents and intelligent assistants. Delegates will gain a strategic view of where AI is heading, the risks and opportunities it creates, and how to position their organizations to lead.

Worldwide, AI spending will surpass $2.5 trillion in 2026, yet most organisations remain stuck in experimentation – unable to convert pilots into real transformation. The economic stakes could not be higher: AI is projected to add up to $15.7 trillion to global GDP by 2030, redrawing competitive advantage across every sector. Drawing on hands-on experience leading AI transformation across global operations – deploying intelligent agents, redesigning workflows, and cutting lead times by 60%+ – this keynote decodes what the AI shockwave means for your organisation, and the decisions that can’t wait.

For decades, building a business meant acquiring what you needed: software, systems, skills, even ways of working, often paying for more than necessary and then reshaping it all again to fit your purpose. What if that era is ending? AI is beginning to grow capabilities on demand, letting technology, processes, and people evolve together as the organization does, instead of being locked in before the need is even clear. This keynote explores that shift, what is already within reach, and how leaders can already begin building the organic enterprise now.

The landscape of business is no longer merely changing – it is being completely rewritten. This session explores the tectonic shifts across the global artificial intelligence landscape, tracing how raw technological capabilities are transforming into a fundamental economic foundation. By looking past the initial wave of automation, we unpack how visionary organizations can seamlessly unite human intuition with scalable AI systems. Designed for leaders ready to move from passive exploration to strategic acceleration, this overview reveals how to navigate real-world bottlenecks, cultivate trust, and actively shape the future of productivity and competitive advantage.

This presentation explores the critical AI trends defining 2026, moving beyond the hype to examine practical business applications. Caelum will outline how generative AI, agentic workflows, and local LLMs are transforming corporate efficiency. Attendees will gain actionable insights on scaling AI tools securely, mitigating deployment risks, and preparing their workforces for a highly automated, collaborative future.

Architect the modern agentic enterprise to unlock growth and new business models. The challenge isn’t ambition — it’s context. This session explores how a unified data strategy solves the enterprise “context problem” to power agentic action, and how strong governance keeps agents trusted as they act across your systems. Leave with a clear view of what it takes to make the agentic enterprise successful.

We built an AI chatbot for Archium™, our document management platform. It worked perfectly — and that was the problem. Every messy metadata field, every unclassified document, every gap in our data suddenly had nowhere to hide. What felt like an AI failure turned out to be a data audit in disguise. Here’s what the mirror showed us, and how we turned the reflection into a playbook.

Many organisations have started experimenting with AI, but few have successfully scaled it across their operations. This discussion will explore whether Cyprus is ready to move from AI pilots to real business transformation and what it will take to accelerate adoption at scale.

• What are the biggest barriers preventing organisations from moving from experimentation to implementation?

• Do businesses have the talent, data and infrastructure needed to scale AI successfully?

• How can organisations use AI to improve productivity, innovation and competitiveness?
