CAPACITY IS FULL! Registration is currently closed.



Welcome to the Digital Day at the Festival of Future! 


This day is not about presenting concrete digital solutions or tools. Instead, it’s about exploring how digitalization impacts every facet of our existence, from the rules that govern us and how we work to how technology itself will transform our daily lives and how we can make it secure. 

The aim is to ignite discussions about technology from various perspectives: finance, energy, the future of work, social responsibility and ethics, legislation, security, and the application of AI across sectors and industries. Our goal is for you to leave with questions, not necessarily answers, and to discuss these among ourselves.  

Engage with experts, participate in discussions, and brainstorm new ideas. Let’s shape a path toward a more innovative and inclusive digital future together.  On the occasion of the 30th anniversary, in the light of megatrends, let’s shape the future together!

9:15 – WHAT FORCES SIGNIFICANTLY IMPACT OUR WORLD? / OPENING PRESENTATIONS & CHATS (SK)


9:30 - FUTURE & CRYSTAL BALL: CAN WE PREDICT TRENDS? (SK)

Can we predict the future? What if I told you some people could see the future? They know what you'll crave and who you'll love. Scary? Absolutely. Exciting? Even more so. Let's delve into the world of trendspotters and their methods.



9:55 - AI, MEGATRENDS & ECONOMY: WHAT ARE WE HEADING TO? (SK)

While some fear AI and robots will replace all human work, the reality is more nuanced. As automation and AI become integral to our jobs, the skills we need will evolve. So join us in uncovering the essential skills for future workplaces and discovering how AI will transform how we work.



10:20  - AI & SOCIETY: HOW WILL AI INFLUENCE US? (SK)

Can AI become part of our social circles, forming bonds like our closest friends? Imagine a future where AI bridges social gaps, enhances cultural preservation, and even becomes our coworkers. But is this realistic, and what ethical challenges might arise? Will we evolve alongside AI, or will it polarize us through misinformation? Let's explore the possibilities and challenges of AI integration in society.



10:45 THE AI WORKPLACE REVOLUTION: WHAT'S NEXT? (EN)

The words AI and the economy are often paired together, with figures frequently tossed into the mix. But is there truth behind these numbers? What tangible impact can we expect from AI, and can we measure it accurately with exact numbers, or are we only looking at trends? AI is poised to transform unexpected industries like agriculture, healthcare, and logistics by improving efficiency and driving economic growth. However, can this be universally applied to Slovakia and its economy, or are there hidden economic patterns we need to tailor to?


11:10 – COFFEE BREAK


11:45 - KEYNOTE PRESENTATION (EN)

What is the future of money? AI is revolutionizing the financial sector by democratizing access to services and creating new forms of currency. But it's not just about money—AI is driving innovation across the financial landscape, reshaping how we bank, invest, and interact with financial systems.



12:00 – THE GREAT DEBATE: ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE AI CONTEXT (EN)

Join industry leaders as they explore AI's potential to drive growth in traditionally low-tech industries and identify sectors most vulnerable to disruption. Gain insights into how policymakers can create an environment conducive to AI-driven economic growth while addressing challenges related to global trade and environmental sustainability. Should we regulate proactively for the future, or allow market forces to shape the status quo? Can overregulation stifle business innovations while trying to protect individuals? As the EU and Slovakia navigate significant legislative changes, what is the optimal path forward?



12:40 – THE FUTURE OF REGULATION IN AI / PANEL DISCUSSION (SK)

Delve into the evolving landscape of AI regulations with experts discussing privacy, data security, and international cooperation. Explore how public opinion and ethical considerations can shape regulatory frameworks that encourage innovation and prevent misuse.
