From AI innovation to business value

How do you turn a promising AI idea into a scalable solution that creates real business value?

Join us on 15 September at Telia HQ in Tallinn for From AI innovation to business value, a day bringing together AI solution developers, innovation leaders and practitioners to explore what it takes to move from AI experimentation to successful implementation and scale.

Organised by Tehnopol AI Accelerator, the Innovation Leaders Club and AIRE Club, the event combines emerging AI solutions with practical experience from organisations already putting AI to work.

The day begins with the AI Accelerator Demo Day, where eight ambitious companies will pitch and demonstrate their AI solutions. The teams will compete for grants of up to €10,000, awarded to as many as three of the strongest performers.

In the second half of the event, the focus shifts from developing AI solutions to making them work in real organisations.

Eric Butterwick, AI Acceleration and Adoption Manager at 3M, will share practical lessons from 3M’s AI journey. He will explore how AI solutions can move from experimentation to wider adoption, how organisations can build the capabilities needed to scale them, and how emerging technologies can create sustainable business value. Butterwick is an experienced innovation and AI leader from Minnesota, USA.

This will be followed by Telia’s perspective on AI in action, with practical insight into how the company is scaling AI across its organisation.

Whether you are developing an AI solution, leading innovation in an established organisation or looking for practical examples of AI adoption, the event offers a chance to discover new solutions, learn from real implementation experience and connect with people working on the next stage of AI adoption.
