Building an AI Community in Eastern Slovakia

Eastern Slovakia has increasingly been emerging in recent years as a region with growing technological potential. One of the key prerequisites for its further development is a systematic approach to talent development, support for digital skills, and the connection of stakeholders across education, business, and research.
