As Europe accelerates investment in AI infrastructure, the next challenge is turning capacity into competitiveness. AI Gigafactories, advanced computing, and connectivity will only deliver their full value if they enable AI adoption at scale across Europe's industrial base.

Join Benjamin Sokolowski, Head of Government Affairs EMEA at Qualcomm, for a fireside conversation on how Europe can build an open and competitive AI ecosystem that combines world-class infrastructure, vendor choice, and cross-industry deployment. The discussion will explore how AI can be scaled across sectors such as manufacturing, automotive, healthcare, energy, and telecommunications, unlocking productivity, innovation, and economic growth.

The conversation will examine the technology, partnerships, and policy choices needed to ensure Europe's AI investments translate into real-world industrial transformation and long-term global competitiveness.
