In 2025, Paris became a meeting point for those actively shaping the future of artificial intelligence. At the impressive Grand Palais, ADOPT AI 2025 brought together leading international decision-makers from business and politics, innovative start-ups, unicorns, and technology partners from around the world to discuss the opportunities, responsibilities, and concrete applications of AI.

On site were also our co-founder Christian Leffin and Sven Föhre, who, together with customers and partners, took the opportunity to dive deep into the international AI ecosystem. The unique atmosphere of the venue perfectly reflected the ambition of the event: bringing innovation, exchange, and visionary thinking together on a European and global level.

AI Between Vision and Practice
ADOPT AI demonstrated impressively just how broad the range of AI applications has become. From financial solutions and healthcare to sustainable use cases for the environment and climate, AI is increasingly becoming a key driver of progress across almost all industries. It was particularly exciting to see how strategic ideas are translated into concrete use cases and the crucial role collaboration plays in this process.

Direct exchanges with executives, founders, and technology partners made one thing clear: successful AI projects do not emerge in isolation. They require open networks, bold decisions, and a shared willingness to explore new paths together.

Europe’s Role in the Global AI Landscape
One defining moment of the event was the visit of Emmanuel Macron, who emphasized the importance of artificial intelligence for Europe’s competitiveness and innovative strength. His presence highlighted how firmly AI is now anchored on the political agenda and how essential clear frameworks are for its responsible development.

ADOPT AI 2025 was more than just a conference. It was a place for exchange, inspiration, and connection. We are taking away new perspectives, valuable conversations, and concrete impulses that we now aim to develop further and incorporate into future projects.
