Europe has invested significantly in AI capabilities, infrastructure, innovation ecosystems and deployment support. Yet these resources often remain distributed across different initiatives, organisations and communities.

This interactive workshop will explore how AI-on-Demand (AIoD) can help connect these capabilities with organisations looking for AI technologies, expertise, data, infrastructure and deployment opportunities.

Rather than providing a conventional platform presentation, the session will bring together representatives from different parts of the European AI ecosystem (industry, research and innovation initiatives and European associations) to discuss their concrete needs, challenges and expectations.

The discussion will then be connected to the AIoD ecosystem through practical examples and a live exploration of relevant AI assets, using the needs raised by the panellists and audience as the starting point.
