Artificial intelligence (AI) is an important tool for achieving sustainability. Europe’s competitiveness and welfare are determined by how well we use the opportunities that can be created with AI.

On May 4, we invite you to participate in the conference “Sustainable AI to drive Global Health”, which will take place in Gothenburg, Sweden, and online. The event, which will have the seal of the Swedish Presidency of the Council of the European Union, will be organised with the support of AstraZeneca, FEAM – through the FEAM Forum –, AI Sweden and the KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

At this conference, representatives, company leaders and representatives from public administration and academia will meet to exchange experiences and establish contacts. By building an ecosystem for relevant actors, the EU can become a hub for the development and use of sustainable AI and AI for sustainable development.

Join us for a gathering of experts to discuss how to keep the EU region globally competitive in biomedical research and development using data and AI.

Together we will showcase what is possible with AI and health data and what it takes to bring these ideas to life.
