On May 10th 2023, we convened once more for the annual Rise of AI Conference. It was a dynamic and exhilarating time filled with thought-provoking speeches, engaging dialogues, and a fusion of both fresh faces and familiar ones.
If you were unable to attend, don’t worry. You have the opportunity to see all the presentations here. Or better, join us in the following year. Rise of AI is set to make a thrilling comeback on May 15th 2024.

CEO Rise of AI | Founding Partner Asgard Capital
Over the years, we have succeeded in creating a wide, interactive AI network with real interpersonal connections. It is a personal wish of Fabian and Veronika to be there for the Rise of AI community before, during and after the event.
We are very happy to hear that founders and investors meet at Rise of AI, or that researchers won new project partners. We have countless of these stories. Therefore the best thing is to attend and experience it for yourself.
We personally take care, that Rise of AI is sustainable as an event for itself.
Our min contribution is streaming the event for free. Thousands have and will attended Rise of AI without the need to travel.
However for our 250 physical guests, we provide a high quality experience.
Our catering is vegan-first, we offer gluten free options and our partners source only organic products.
Due to working for years with the same partners, we reduce waste and improve energy efficiency.
Our print materials are recycled, we only use reusable porcelain and avoid useless give aways.
Furthermore, we only use living plants for decoration and plant them in our forest afterwards.
Dieses Projekt wird kofinanziert durch den Europäischen Fonds für regionale Entwicklung (EFRE).
Rise of AI started with 10 people discussing the Singularity in 2014. Today Rise of AI is Europe’s most influential platform for the growing Artificial Intelligence industry.
