Field of work: Breaking Barriers
Discover how the government can serve as a powerful launch customer for AI innovation. In this breakout session, three inspiring AI startups (Avendar, Zeta Alpha, and AIMZ) will share their experiences collaborating with the government. The Ministry of the Interior and Kingdom Relations will explain how the government is taking the lead in scaling up AI within the public sector through the National Digitalization Strategy. The European Investment Bank will explain how it plays a central role in scaling up AI in Europe, and the ICTU will share practical lessons on topics such as innovative procurement and the connection between local and national governments.
Together, we’ll explore what it takes to connect AI startups with government agencies more frequently and on a larger scale. Be inspired, learn from real-world examples, and help build a future where public challenges and the innovative power of AI companies reinforce one another.

For AI startup founders, policymakers, and professionals at organizations that support scaling up, such as investors, accelerators, government agencies, and research institutions.
