Presentation

The AI, Data and Robotics Partnership launching event was organised in collaboration with the European Commission and the AI, Data and Robotics Association (Adra). It took place on Thursday 25 November 2021, 10:00am-12:15pm CEST.

The launch event is a direct follow-up of the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding last June between the European Commission and Adra that establishes the co-programmed partnership that will serve as European focal point for AI, Data and Robotics.

We invited a panel of high-level speakers from industry, research and policy to provide their view on the opportunities of European AI, Data and Robotics.

Additionally, we provided information about the upcoming activities and opportunities within the partnership, and presented the membership options of Adra.
