About the Event

Why AI Solution Day?

Most AI events are either too technical or too theoretical. Startups struggle to get in front of the right decision-makers. Corporates are overwhelmed by vendor noise and can't tell what actually works.

AI Solution Day closes that gap — a curated half-day where startups pitch real solutions to real problems, and corporates engage in focused roundtable sessions. Each edition focuses on a single business function, so everyone in the room is there for exactly the same reason.

Edition 02: Marketing

How can AI drive measurable marketing impact — from campaign creation to performance analytics? This edition brings together AI startups solving real marketing challenges with marketing leaders ready to act.

Frequently Asked Questions

We are looking for product-focused startups developing their own scalable solutions, such as software, platforms, hardware, or technology-driven products in the field of marketing. Pure service providers, agencies, and consultancies are not the target audience.

This event is designed for product-focused, scalable startups. Registrations from pure service providers, agencies, or consultancies will be reviewed to ensure the best fit.

This part will be offered in a hybrid format. Startups that are selected but unable to travel will have the opportunity to pitch online. However, we strongly recommend attending in person to fully experience and benefit from the event.
