The CeADAR Ireland team was delighted to exhibit at the International AI Summit in the RDS, Dublin. This was a fantastic day to kick off Europe’s AI Innovation Month, exploring how AI can continue to strengthen Europe’s competitiveness, support innovation and deliver practical impact through responsible adoption.

Congratulations to Niamh Smyth for hosting such a landmark event, showcasing the power of collaboration between Irish industry, academic researchers, national agencies, and regulators as Ireland shapes the future of trusted AI during its EU Presidency.

A special thank you to An Taoiseach, Micheál Martin, for taking the time to visit our stand during the day.

We were also delighted to meet with Lucilla Sioli, Director of the EU AI Office, and Gosia (Malgorzata) Nikowska, alongside Karin Jancykova from FactoryXChange 2.0 EDIH, for a particularly insightful discussion on the practical challenges companies face in adopting AI, the supports they need, and how Ireland’s and Europe’s AI innovation ecosystem can help businesses move from ambition to implementation responsibly and effectively.

Thank you to the Department of Enterprise, Tourism and Employment for organising such a great event and to everyone who stopped by to learn more about CeADAR’s role in strengthening Ireland’s AI ecosystem through industry and public service collaboration, skills development and responsible AI innovation.
