Shared challenges catalyze valuable conversations at AI Sweden's Partner-to-Partner Meet-up

New for this year was that the matchmaking was based on shared challenges, with the hope of creating deeper and more relevant connections, according to Alexander Brunner, Partner Manager and startup program manager at AI Sweden.

Alexander continues, "To accelerate the adoption of AI in Sweden, we must collaborate and share our challenges."

By asking all parties about the challenges they would like to discuss, AI has been used to analyze the responses and categorize the challenges into several areas. These include how to work with scaling and implementing AI solutions, competence and workflows with the help of AI, and regulations and how to measure value and ROI from AI investments.

The event began with Peter Kurzwelly, Strategy Manager at AI Sweden, speaking about courageous leadership. Peter Kurzwelly emphasized that the change brought about by AI requires active leadership that focuses on identifying and implementing AI solutions to create tangible value for the organization.

Mikael Ljungblom, Director of Public Policy & International Relations at AI Sweden, then took the stage and presented the Nordic and Baltic AI Center as an important step in a broader strategy to position the Nordic and Baltic region as a leading and sustainable AI region, underscoring the need for cross-border collaboration to maximize the potential of AI.

The program on stage concluded with Patrik Kägu, Innovation Advisor at Almi, who shared his experiences regarding the AI Act and how to manage the frameworks that affect AI implementation.

The day ended with one-on-one meetings between partners and plenty of networking.
