Artificial intelligence has become a regular topic in strategic discussions across organizations. The key challenge today is not whether to adopt AI, but how to integrate it effectively into core processes and translate strategy into measurable results in procurement and contract management.

The Business Breakfast in Košice, organized by Cequence in collaboration with the Innovation Center of the Košice Region (ICKK) as the regional partner, provides a platform for a practical and experience-driven discussion. We will explore what implementation looks like beyond strategy decks, where challenges arise, what tangible benefits can be achieved, and what factors determine long-term success.

The event aims to bring high-quality professional dialogue to Eastern Slovakia, connect companies, public institutions and the innovation ecosystem, and foster a strong community in procurement and contract management.
