Every year WMF hosts more than 100 events and initiatives dedicated to innovation.
The next edition of the Festival, scheduled at Rimini Fiera from June 15 to 17, 2023, will feature the international benchmark event for Artificial Intelligence, the AI Global Summit, with industry professionals, companies, investors, and players from the innovation ecosystem, meeting every year at WMF.
During the event, innovative tools and software will be presented to the public, alongside institutional panels and working tables, to outline the definition and regulation regarding AI, and the best technology projects in industry and research will be awarded, all wrapped up in a three-day event full of educational and networking opportunities.
Artificial Intelligence is gaining increasing momentum, a decisive tool in the development of many fields, thanks to its inherent ability to process huge amounts of data, an invaluable feature that will accelerate scientific processes all around.
Since its first editions, WMF has been paying close attention to AI developments, hosting prominent personalities in the field and showcasing some of the most advanced tools and robots in the world, organizing dedicated panels, round tables, and educational moments regarding the critical issues and new possibilities offered by increasingly high-performance machines.

The Big Data and Quantum Computing Call is currently open and will be evaluating applications and solutions harnessing HPC computational methods, big data analytics, cloud, and edge computing workflow, and projects based on quantum computing methods. The best innovative projects in the field, which will be a resource for industrial and scientific research will be awarded by a jury.
The call stems from a collaboration with the European Space Agency (ESA), which is improving a system of satellites around the Earth to improve its monitoring system: satellites are making it possible to monitor climate and environmental variations, and protect Earth's ecosystems. All collected and processed data are public, and can be used by anyone for research or business purposes. Want to stay updated and participate in this initiative? Fill the form!
