Future Technologies in Wroclaw: Evolutions Partner Network Festival 2026 Concludes
Discussions on the future of artificial intelligence, conversations about creativity in the AI era, and networking opportunities bringing together representatives of business, startups, and creative industries — this was the essence of the second day of the Evolutions Partner Network Festival 2026, held in Wrocław. The conference attracted technology experts, investors, entrepreneurs, and creators interested in the impact of emerging technologies on business and culture.
The Evolutions Partner Network Festival 2026 is a two-day event combining workshops, expert presentations, panel discussions, and networking opportunities with representatives from the worlds of business and new technologies. The second day featured a conference program focused on artificial intelligence, innovation, and the influence of technology on today’s market and culture. Experts from technology, investment, and creative sectors were invited to participate.
"I am delighted that we were able to come together in such large numbers, bringing together the worlds of technology, business, vision, and rapidly growing creative industries. Events like this demonstrate how much we can achieve through collaboration, passion, and openness to new ideas. I have been truly impressed by the energy and engagement of participants throughout these intensive days. I hope they leave with valuable knowledge and meaningful new experiences." Natalia Świrska-Załuska, Startup Program Lead CEE, OVHcloud Evolutions
There Is No Need to Fear Artificial Intelligence
This year, the event organizers — Startup Wrocław and OVHcloud — focused on the practical applications of artificial intelligence and the European approach to technological development. Speakers included representatives from Bielik.AI, Niebezpiecznik, ZAiKS, Muzaic, the European Investment Fund, and Capgemini. Participants discussed cybersecurity, startup growth, building competitive advantage, and the changes AI is bringing to the daily operations of companies and organizations.
"Events like this are essential for raising public awareness. During the panel discussion I participated in, we explored how European AI compares to global technologies. Despite the rapid progress, artificial intelligence is still something many people fear. In reality, however, it is simply another tool — much like cars or calculators once were, both of which were initially met with skepticism. Our goal is to help demystify AI and show its practical value." Paweł Kiszczak, Bielik AI & SpeakLeash.org
Debates on Technology and the Future of the Market
One of the highlights of the program was the panel discussion titled “Creativity in the Age of AI.” Artists, experts, and representatives of the creative sector discussed how artificial intelligence is influencing creative processes, copyright issues, and the future of creativity itself. The conversation also addressed questions of artistic identity and the boundaries of AI’s role in art and culture.
Another popular feature was the Roast VC format. Investors shared their perspectives on the development of the AI market, answered questions from attendees, and tested their forecasts against audience opinions. Organizers emphasized that the goal of the event was to create a space for open dialogue between the technology, business, and creative communities.
Conversations Beyond the Conference Stage
The conference concluded with a networking event called “The Human Afterparty,” providing an opportunity for more informal discussions and the development of new business relationships.
"We have been working with the startup ecosystem for many years. After completing the transformation and redevelopment of Renoma, it was important for us to host initiatives like this. For us, this festival is a celebration of the startup community, and we are proud to provide a space where it can thrive." Magdalena Śnieżek, Head of Ace of Space powered by Globalworth
A Space Full of Energy and Inspiration
Once again, the Evolutions Partner Network Festival 2026 demonstrated that Wrocław remains one of Poland’s leading hubs for the technology and startup community.
"Today, Wrocław stands as a symbol of openness, collaboration, and European values. Over the past few days, people from across Poland and Europe have gathered here to discuss the future, growth, and joint initiatives. This city shows the strength that comes from diversity, dialogue, and the courage to create new opportunities. I am proud that such a vibrant space of energy, ambition, and inspiration is being built here — not only for Wrocław, but also for Poland and Europe as a whole." said Jakub Mazur, the Deputy Mayor of Wrocław.
