Next Frontier AI Roadshow – CYBER VALLEY

​Next Frontier AI is Europe’s most radical initiative for genuine technological independence in AI.

​SPRIND is creating the conditions for Europe to discover and define the next frontier in AI—not by catching up, but by leaping forward with entirely new paradigms. Through massive funding (initially €125 million, non-dilutive), radical technological freedom, and a foundation of European values, SPRIND is establishing the environment to build three new Frontier AI Labs for research and deployment in Europe.

As a leading center of excellence in AI research and robotics, Cyber Valley is proud to host this stop of the roadshow, bringing together top talent from academia, startups, and industry in our ecosystem.

​This isn’t your typical tech conference. No auditorium marathons. No sitting through panels while secretly checking your phone. This is an open, interactive ecosystem designed to go deep into what frontier AI actually means, to hear from Europe’s AI leaders, and know more about the initiative and the challenge.

​It’s designed to turn curiosity into clear intent, and strangers into potential co-founders.

​Who should attend–and whyTop AI talent and promising juniors. Researchers with radical ideas. Engineers ready to build. Anyone who believes Europe can set the standard, not just keep up.

​Doors open at 14:00. Program starts at 14:45.

​Come if

​You’re already certain you're applying and want to meet potential co-founders and sharpen your thesis.​You’re on the fence and need to see whether this is actually for you.​You have a team but need more people to fill key roles.​You’re flying solo with a strong idea or research expertise, and need to find your first collaborator.​You work at a big lab and wonder "could I do this myself?"​You’re a professor, investor, or run an AI network with access to the right people and teams.

​Note: Attendance is by application. Space is limited and we’re curating for fit.

​What’s on the agenda

Inputs on the Initiative, to shake up assumptions about where the next S-curve actually is.

Open Q&A on the fundamentals of frontier AI, the labs we want you to build, and how the €125M → €1B funding path works. Ask us anything.

Networking and the opportunity for 1:1 time with the Next Frontier AI team. Questions about your application, your idea, the fine print? We're excited to talk.

Pressure-test your frontier thesis. Not a pitch. Not a spotlight. Just an open table for real feedback on your thinking.

​Food and drinks throughout – Continuous, distributed, designed to keep conversations going. No forced breaks. Standing, grazing, talking.
