As part of the AI Action Summit, which will take place in Paris on 10 and 11 February 2025, the “AI Convergence” challenges are launched in order to showcase the dynamism of academic and industrial ecosystems and the tangible foundation of innovations they operate on globally.

The goal of these challenges is to promote projects tackling ambitious technological problems or societal issues, demonstrating the value of AI for humanity as a whole.

This initiative also represents a significant opportunity to unite ecosystems, foster a shared vision, and generate stimulating ideas and solutions around this transformative technology. AI convergence is underway, already showcasing its potential as both an accelerator and a differentiator.
Researchers, engineers, entrepreneurs, and innovators from all sectors: if you have an ambitious project that addresses an unresolved issue using AI, you can respond to this call by submitting your challenge!
Selected projects will receive significant visibility during the Summitweek of the Summit.
