Artificial intelligence in the spotlight

STEM at the Economic Forum in Karpacz

The international character of the Economic Forum helps to replace stereotypes with facts and to form opinions on the basis of factual exchange. Therefore, there is no better place to dispel myths about education and technical professions than the capital of the Karkonosze Mountains.

In a panel discussion dedicated to this topic, representatives of companies from the region will talk about the steps their companies are taking to be more sustainable in terms of employment. How their attitudes towards women in skilled positions have changed over the years. Representatives from the education sector will also share their views.
