Connected Ecosystems: Edge AI

Join Digital Catapult and Qualcomm for an exciting deep dive into the future of Edge AI!

Think about the devices that shape our daily digital interactions - smartphones in our pockets, computers on our desks, and IoT devices throughout our spaces. These aren't just connected devices anymore; they're becoming intelligent endpoints, capable of running sophisticated AI operations right where you need them.
This transformation brings four key advantages that are reshaping how we interact with technology: enhanced privacy, real-time response, personalized experiences, offline processing capability.

We'll explore how AI is moving from the cloud to your devices, featuring:
📱 Insights from Qualcomm on the latest Edge AI innovations
🚀 Startup showcase highlighting real-world applications
🎯 Interactive panel discussion on challenges and opportunities
💡 Live Edge AI demonstrations.

We invite professionals involved in the development of AI applications, solutions, and models, as well as businesses interested in learning more about Edge and On-Device AI, to attend. This event will provide valuable insights into the technologies and facilitate discussions on potential applications and future directions.
