Welcome to Dipoli on 13 December 2017!

The current, top-level AI research and education in Finland will be displayed during our half-day event.

Academics, welcome to present your results and network with potential private and  public sector partners! Companies, come tell about your problems that need solving!

We offer intriguing matchmaking opportunities for companies and the public sector – you are welcome to come and discuss how AI is changing the world and to discover new opportunities for your business. Meet the people at the leading edge of AI research and combine your efforts to get a head start for your organisation.

Demo area

In addition to research posters and demos, there will be rollup demo spaces with table (width max 1m) available for startups and companies for a small fee. Also organisations offering AI education are welcome. Please, contact Terhi Kajaste at terhi.kajaste@aalto.fi for further information latest on 30 November.
