European AI Innovation Month 2026

The European AI Innovation Month brings together policymakers, industry, public sector, and research together to discuss and showcase how AI is being developed and applied across EU industry sectors.

From 14 October to 17 November 2026, this initiative led by the European Commission in partnership with the Irish Presidency of the Council promotes a series of online and in-person events showcasing AI innovation and adoption across Europe.

The month will feature 3 flagship events: 

• International AI Summit | 14 October | Dublin, Ireland
• AI in Science Summit | 15 October 
• Apply AI Summit | 17 November | Brussels and Online

The three flagship events will be supplemented by series of partner events that will expand the programme and conversation across Europe. You can find the full list here.

In addition to this, to support the month, the Virtual Conference Platform – an immersive, fair-style virtual environment – will create a seamless experience through a dedicated virtual exhibition that hosts innovative projects and links the summits together. The platform will enable continuous exchanges throughout the month and broadening outreach.
