Preliminary Programme
Proposed Strategic Programme

The Congress takes place from June 7 to 9, 2027. Day one defines the emerging technological order. Day two focuses on intelligence and computing. Day three examines the infrastructure needed to support the transformation. June 10 is a separate day devoted exclusively to the scientific conference.

Artificial intelligence is addressed as Sovereign Intelligence: a system encompassing models, agents, data, computing capacity, cloud, networks, energy, cybersecurity, robotics and the transformation of work. Quantum technologies, HPC, energy, space and life sciences remain distinctive pillars, presented through their real interdependencies.
