The event, which carries the theme "Complete Transition from Idea to Value," will bring together information systems managers, experts, technology companies, start-ups, and international delegations. The forum aims to focus on artificial intelligence, innovation, and digital transformation.
This year's edition will explore ways to transition from concepts and experiments in artificial intelligence to practical and measured uses that can create tangible value for institutions and organizations. The discussions will also address the transformations that artificial intelligence is causing in professions, competencies, and organizations, as well as cybersecurity and technological infrastructure. The event will feature participants from various African countries and other regions of the world.
Benin will be the guest of honor at the 12th edition of the forum, with a significant Beninese delegation participating in various activities. This will enable the enhancement of exchanges between Tunisia, Benin, and Africa's digital ecosystems, as well as the sharing of experiences and the development of new partnerships among digital players in the continent.
The forum's program, which spans three days, includes conferences, debates, roundtable discussions, and workshops led by experts and speakers from several countries. The discussions will focus on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, digital transformation, and the evolution of professions and competencies. A specific space will be dedicated to innovation, with the organization of the first "hackathon" within the forum.
The hackathon, which will last 48 hours, is built around a practical and specific topic. The event will also host a start-up village featuring 15 Tunisian and African start-ups as part of the Abd Wahab Ben Ayad Innovation Competition.
