The European Commission has invited Adra to play a key role in implementing its new Apply AI Strategy which aims to accelerate the responsible uptake of Artificial Intelligence across Europe’s economy and society. During the webinar, EC representatives will outline the objectives, key pillars and implementation approach of the strategy, as well as highlight opportunities for engagement by Adra members and the wider ecosystem.
As part of Apply AI, the EC will collaborate with Adra to establish a Catalyst for the Uptake of European Robotics. This initiative will bring together developers and user industries to accelerate the development and adoption of AI-powered robotic solutions that respond to real market needs. In this framework, Adra will play a central role in shaping and coordinating sectoral Acceleration Pipelines - focusing on high impact use cases, prioritized in close collaboration with end-user industries - to ensure that innovation in robotics aligns with Europe's strategic objectives and real world challenges.
Thank you for attending, the presentation slides are available for download.
