Across the globe, the combination of artificial intelligence (AI) and space technology is driving a new era of commercial innovation and economic growth. Satellite-based solutions, such as Earth observation, combined with AI-generated insights are transforming industries such as agriculture, energy, mining and transport. This powerful convergence is reshaping economies and opening up new opportunities across borders.
With strong digital foundations, rapidly evolving technology and ambitious AI strategies, the EBRD regions offer fertile ground for investment and international collaboration. This session will explore how companies in places where the EBRD invests, including the Baltic states and countries in sub-Saharan Africa, can harness the potential of AI and space technology to boost innovation and competitiveness. We will share real-world commercial examples, highlighting opportunities for firms of all sizes, including small and medium-sized enterprises.
Join us to discover how cutting-edge solutions are unlocking the next frontier of economic growth, on Earth and beyond its orbit.
