The Ireland Portugal Business Network held its 2nd edition Innovation Conference in Dublin at the Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC) on Tuesday, June 17, from 9h to 13h and focused squarely on AI.
The conference featured a series of practical case studies from different sectors, bridging the gap between theory and practice and showcasing how AI had the potential to transform businesses. Two captivating panel conversations took place—one on implementing a robust AI Governance Management System, and another on trends and opportunities for investment in AI startups—with experts from both countries brought together for all those interested in learning how AI could transform their business.
It served as a comprehensive introduction to transforming businesses using AI, particularly for those considering or just beginning their journey. Attendees gained valuable insights, essential information, and key contacts, along with the opportunity to learn from experts from both countries who were already extensively using AI.
We were delighted to count on the presence of the Chair of the IPBN and its Board members, as well as representatives from Spain and Portugal of IPBN partner Enterprise Ireland. A special thank you was extended to our Executive Partners for their constant support and to our sponsors who made this conference possible.
Thank you once again to the Guinness Enterprise Centre and its Director Niamh Collins for hosting our conference a second time, and to all our sponsors, IPBN Executive Partner Ardanis and Brookes Property Group, IPBN Members VMotion IT Solutions and Daylight and Multi Award Winning Marina Vilamoura for their support.
