The future of AI is promising, and the stakes have never been higher. It’s imperative to tread this game changing technology wisely and cautiously, as all decisions made today will quickly shape our future.
Since 2017, the World Summit AI has been a place to discuss AI developments, its possibilities and implementations – setting the global AI agenda. Each event attracted a diverse group of visitors, representing business, government, education and citizens. This year won’t be any different.
The business-oriented visitors give a good representation of the global AI ecosystem, ranging from Enterprise, Big Tech, Startups, Investors, Science and Academia.
The Netherlands AI Coalition, the Invest in Holland network, Topsector ICT and various ROM’s will host the NL Lounge at the WSAI. We would like to share our floor with you to show your innovations and use cases. NL startups, companies and initiatives are invited to become part of the program and make valuable connections in the NL Lounge.

- Datacation: Conventional optimisation methods are not capable of dealing with the complexity of real-world problems. Through training an AI agent that tailors the underlying optimisation method to the actual problem at hand we lowered the needed number of computations to converge to an optimal set of values. This allows for more complexity to be taken into account, making it possible to solve real-world problems within an acceptable amount of time.
