ABOUT EBDVF

The 2021 edition will take place from the 29th of November to the 3rd of December. This year we are having a “hybrid”: the event is held both, in person and online. EBDVF 2021 is an associated event of Slovenian EU Presidency.

EBDVF 2021 theme is “Digital Transformation powered by Data and AI”. The event brings together industry professionals, business developers, researchers and policy-makers from all over Europe and other regions of the world to advance policy actions, and industrial and research activities in the areas of Data and AI. We approach the theme from the sectorial and cross-sectorial angle. The programme tracks are structured to cover strategic aspects of technological challenges and impact, discussing the topics of adoption of industrial and trustworthy AI, Data Spaces, Data-Driven business models, standardisation, societal impacts and many others.

Celebrating the Slovenian EU Presidency, part of the event it will be hosted in Ljubljana. The event is organised in collaboration with DIH Slovenia, ICT Association of Slovenia (Chamber of Commerce and Industry Slovenia), Jožef Stefan Institute (JSI) and the University of Ljubljana.
