Since its inception, WMF has recognized the transformative potential of Artificial Intelligence, promoting training and business initiatives that support companies and innovators in the development, growth, and adoption of AI solutions. The objective is to generate concrete opportunities, and positive impacts and contribute to building a more sustainable and inclusive future.
With "WMF For AI 2025" we shape our commitment to AI with a series of projects for companies, startups, and operators of the Italian and international innovation world, aimed at promoting the development, application and integration of Artificial Intelligence in various technological and industrial sectors.
The WMF For AI initiative was launched during the WMF Innovation Talk at CES (Consumer Electronic Show) in Las Vegas and takes shape with projects and events that see synergies and international collaborations, in particular between Europe and the United States.
WMF For AI 2025 kicks off with the AI Festivalon February 26-27 in Milan, an event organized by WMF with the main partnership of Bocconi University, Cineca, Intel, and the European Space Agency. Among the many AI-themed activities, the festival will be the stage for the final of the AI 4 Future Startup call, a competition dedicated to AI-based projects linked to the 12 challenges of the future for sustainable development in key sectors such as culture, marketing, food, and other strategic industries. 36 startups will be selected: 6 will participate in the AI Festival and the other 30 will be hosted at WMF 2025 with access to the exhibition area.
