Heading to #EDIHSummit26? Arrive a day early.   On 8 June, AI & Robotics Estonia AIRE invites Europe's digital innovation community to Brussels for AIRE Club #53 – an afternoon of discussions, networking and ecosystem-building ahead of the EDIH Summit.   As Europe continues investing in AI Factories, TEFs and EDIHs, an important question remains: How do we turn these initiatives into tangible competitive advantage for European companies?   Together with representatives from the European Commission, AI Factories, EDIHs, research organisations and industry, we will explore how Europe can bridge the gap between investment and real industrial impact.   The programme will also address another strategic challenge shaping Europe's future: energy security in an increasingly digital and AI-driven world.   Why join? 🔹 Hear perspectives from the European Commission, AI Factories, TEFs and EDIHs across Europe 🔹 Connect with fellow ecosystem builders, policymakers, researchers and industry representatives 🔹 Take part in dedicated matchmaking and networking sessions 🔹 Get into the #EDIHSummit26 mindset one day before the main event begins   📍 Permanent Representation of Estonia to the EU, Brussels 📅 8 June 2026 ⏰ 13:30–19:00   Participation is free of charge, but places are limited.   Registration has been extended until 4 June: https://lnkd.in/dQkqFCN4   We look forward to welcoming you to Brussels.
