Building Europe’s Sovereign Growth Engine
Ecosystems and capital for industrial transformation.
· ViennaPart of ViennaUP 2027
From research to industry.
Human × AI 2027 will give the stage to some of the brightest minds building Europe’s new growth engines.
Through a wide-format agenda, the event will present ideas and use cases on how Europe can create the economic foundation to develop, finance, govern and scale the technologies and business models that anchor its sovereignty.
The context
We operate in multi-crisis and highly uncertain times. Global balances are shifting and an entirely new geopolitical landscape is emerging.
In parallel, AI is accelerating transformation across every domain and becoming a foundational layer of a new economic logic.
The Challenge
In this complex environment, Europe must respond with fundamental structural reform.
It needs to accelerate the conversion of ideas into economic value, address the gap in innovation, capital, market access, and secure its strategic autonomy over the assets on which its future depends.
The Opportunity
Transformative endeavours and forces capable of advancing this economic reinvention are gaining strength across Europe - from Vienna to Warsaw, from Zurich to Athens.
This moment carries immense opportunity and Human × AI was built to seize it.
On 11 May, the platform will convene the people who can reinforce the foundations of Europe’s prosperity through cross-industrial ecosystems and alliances connecting ideas, talent, and capital.

AI Act Compliance: The Technical Audit Nobody Wants to Run (But Everyone Needs)
Most organizations can't answer which AI systems are live in production right now. The EU AI Act penalties are already enforceable, and that timeline extension? It's a trap, not a reprieve.

The Digital Single Market Debate Europe Keeps Having Wrong
Europe's Digital Single Market isn't stuck because people disagree on goals. It's stuck because Member States benefit from fragmentation. The real question: can quarterly accountability reports change incentives, or just document decline?

AI in the Administration of Justice: What Annex III Point 8 Actually Requires
A judge in Rotterdam uses AI to search case law. A startup in Tallinn builds voter comparison tools. Which is high-risk under the EU AI Act? The answer determines whether you're drowning in compliance or shipping systems that trigger Article 6(2) without the required safeguards.
