New Tech, Old Rules

About this event

The best technologies rarely arrive in markets that are ready for them.
Education, healthcare, the public sector, and adoption of sustainable solutions moves slowly and carefully because the stakes are high. Decisions affect real people, real budgets and entire systems. So what does it actually take to convince cautious buyers to embrace something completely new?
Join founders building immersive learning, health tech, sustainability products and embodied AI as they share the real stories behind bringing breakthrough technology into the world.
No buzzwords. No polished success stories. Just an honest conversation about what it takes to build the future before everyone else sees it.
Speakers include Dr. Vijeta Sharma (Senior Researcher at RISE, Sweden and HPC-AI, Expert Sweden AI Factory), Jady Pamella (AI Engineer, Founder/CEO of SoiQet, Co-founder of Tree++, ex-Bank of Brasília), and Jakub Kreft (CEO of Unicorn VR World, trained 400+ VR therapists across Poland), talking about how breakthrough technology gets adopted in traditionally cautious sectors.
Who’s it for?
Founders. Investors. Operators. Innovation leaders. Corporate decision-makers. Educators. Healthcare professionals. And anyone curious about how emerging technology goes from “That’ll never work” to “How did we ever live without it?”
Why come?
Because the best conversations rarely happen on stage.
Hear what founders have learned the hard way, meet people building ambitious things, and leave with fresh ideas, valuable connections, and maybe even your next customer, investor, collaborator or co-founder.

Proxify Talks: AI meets reality: From AI potential to real-world impact

National Museum, Stockholm, Sweden
In person

💡 AI meets reality: From AI Potential to Real-World Impact There’s no shortage of conversation about what AI could change. We’re more interested in what happens when you actually try to make it work. About the event: AI's potential is no longer in question — what separates the leaders from the laggards is execution in the real world. Proxify Talks brings together CTOs, senior engineering leaders, and technical executives for an evening of candid keynotes, sharp panel discussions, and honest conversation about what it takes to put AI to work inside real organizations - beyond the hype, beyond the demos, and past the current technological chaos. Expect depth over buzzwords: our speakers choose their own angle on the theme, so you'll hear a genuine range of perspectives on implementation, not a repeated pitch deck.

The climate crisis is accelerating. So are AI capabilities. What becomes possible when these two realities meet? An evening to explore how AI can help communities prepare for and adapt to a changing climate, bringing together climate experts, technologists, innovators and organizations working on the frontlines of climate change. Through powerful climate storytelling, leading research and practical examples from around the world, we will look at where AI can make a real difference, from understanding risks earlier to helping communities protect lives, livelihoods and ecosystems. The stage program will bring together perspectives from climate science, AI research and innovators applying technology in practice. You will also have the opportunity to meet seven international organizations developing AI solutions for communities already facing the effects of climate change. Expect to be surprised by what AI is already making possible, and to leave more hopeful about what comes next.
