Don't just adopt AI. Shape the future of your industry.

AIxIndustry is an international platform dedicated to bringing together industry leaders, business executives, entrepreneurs, technology innovators, AI researchers, and academic communities to explore, advance, and shape the future of artificial intelligence across industries. It provides a forum for sharing industry insights, identifying real-world challenges, presenting innovative technologies and applications, and fostering collaborations that translate AI advances into business and industrial value.

We believe industries should be more than users of today's AI. They should actively participate in identifying new opportunities, defining challenging problems, developing innovative solutions, and creating the next generation of AI technologies and applications.

Transforming Industries Through AI

Artificial intelligence is transforming business operations, products, services, and entire industries. Yet many opportunities remain unexplored, and many industrial challenges cannot be adequately addressed by existing AI capabilities.

AIxIndustry brings together industry needs and AI innovations. By connecting industry practitioners with researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, and investors, the platform encourages the exchange of ideas, the formulation of meaningful problems, the development of innovative solutions, and the creation of new opportunities for business growth and industrial transformation.

Beyond Adopting AI: Creating the Next AI for Industry

AIxIndustry promotes a forward-looking approach to industrial AI. Rather than focusing exclusively on adopting existing AI technologies, we encourage industries to participate in advancing AI itself by identifying unmet needs, formulating challenging problems, and collaborating on new AI capabilities and solutions.

We envision a continuous cycle of industrial innovation:

Identify Industry Needs → Formulate Problems → Develop AI Solutions → Evaluate and Deploy → Discover New Opportunities

Through this process, industry becomes an active partner in AI innovation, helping shape technologies that are more capable, reliable, practical, and aligned with real-world needs.

Co-Located Conferences

AIxIndustry works closely with the following conferences to foster interdisciplinary exchange and collaboration:

AI x Business (AIxB)
AI x Humanities, Education, and Art (AIxHEART)
AI x Medicine, Health, and Care (AIxMHC)
AI x Science, Engineering, and Technology (AIxSET)

While AIxB explores AI across business functions and business innovation, AIxIndustry focuses on the application and advancement of AI across industrial sectors, including their products, services, technologies, processes, and operations.

The registration fee includes access to the co-located conferences above, including meals as specified on the registration page.

One strategic suggestion for the next revision: consider making the Industry Challenge Program a year-round activity, rather than limiting it to the annual conference. This could become one of AIxIndustry's strongest mechanisms for building lasting relationships with industry partners.
