Europe is positioning itself at the absolute forefront of digital sovereignty, trustworthy AI, and technological resilience. On 13-14 October 2026, the AI, Data, and Robotics Forum – ADRF26 takes place at the Alfândega Congress Centre in Porto, Portugal and the F6S team will be there showcasing the results of our leading European project portfolio.
Organised by INESC TEC and ADRA (the private side of the European Partnership on AI, Data, and Robotics) in collaboration with the European Commission, ADRF is one of Europe’s most strategic platforms for deep-tech innovation. Bringing together over 500 decision-makers, researchers, policymakers, and industry experts, the forum drives the debate on Europe’s technological future and global competitiveness.
At F6S, we drive technology growth across the innovation ecosystem through public funding programmes, cascade funding (FSTP), corporate matchmaking, and scaling support for founders, SMEs, and researchers. At ADRF26, our team will be at booth 19, spotlighting our flagship EU-funded Big Data & AI synergy initiatives.
