Žan Gojčič will share his inspiring journey from studying in Graz and Zurich to Stanford, NVIDIA, and the founding of the startup Veedo AI. He will reveal how breakthrough technology ideas are developed, how to earn the trust of top-tier investors, and what it takes to build a globally successful company.
The second part of the session will focus on artificial intelligence as the driving force behind a new technological revolution and on the opportunities AI creates for businesses, the economy, and Slovenia. Why can even small countries successfully compete with the world's largest economies through knowledge, ambition, and innovation? We will explore this question through concrete experiences from the very forefront of global technology.
