Program (November 24, 2026)
The second day of the FARI Conference 2026 will take place at BeCentral and will feature a series of sessions dedicated to FARI's flagship initiatives, culminating in the AI Accelerator Final Pitch.
Building on the conference theme, "Brussels, Capital of AI," this second day will focus on the flagship pillars that we believe are essential to shaping a thriving, responsible, and sovereign AI ecosystem. Through in-depth discussions, concrete use cases, and collaborative exchanges, participants will explore how these initiatives contribute to making Brussels a leading hub for AI innovation and impact.
The day is also designed to strengthen the connections initiated throughout the conference, providing a space for continued dialogue and collaboration between researchers, policymakers, industry leaders, entrepreneurs, and civil society.
