Overview
The European AI Forum is an initiative launched in June 2020 on the final day of the Croatian Presidency over the Council of the European Union.
Initially planned as a conference that takes place towards the completion of each Council Presidency, the European AI Forum has turned into a network of associations that want to make sure startups and innovators in Member States have a voice when it comes to building an AI regulatory framework.
Founded by CroAI, Hub France IA and KI Bundesverband, our Community has grown to include AI4SI, AI Austria, AI Cluster Bulgaria, NL AI Coalitie and AI Poland.
Mission
Our mission is to set the agenda on how AI is approached in Europe, both in terms of policy and entrepreneurship.
Our goal is to serve as a platform where entrepreneurs and policymakers get together to jointly determine the path forward for European AI innovation.
