Adrian-Victor Vevera, General Director of ICI Bucharest, participated as a keynote speaker at Quantum Innovation Summit 2026, held from 28 to 30 September in Dubai. The event brought together specialists, representatives of public institutions, researchers, and technology companies in a programme dedicated to developing quantum technologies and their connection to artificial intelligence, computing infrastructure, and cybersecurity.
In his intervention, Adrian-Victor Vevera discussed the role of emerging technologies in developing digital infrastructures and the need for clear rules, skills, and cooperation between research, public administration, and the private sector to support their adoption.
These topics are also reflected in the projects in which ICI Bucharest is involved at the European level. The institute is the hosting entity for RO AI Factory, which will provide researchers, companies, universities and public institutions with access to advanced computing resources, AI services, expertise and training programmes. The institute is also involved in BSC AI Factory and HPC in Europe, through which it supports access to HPC and AI infrastructures and develops the skills needed to use them in research and the business environment.
Quantum Innovation Summit 2026 was held under the theme “Quantum & Emerging Frontiers: Advancing Global Innovation & Technological Leadership” and included sessions on quantum applications, artificial intelligence, advanced computing infrastructures, security, and the governance of emerging technologies.
Analyzing cryptocurrency transactions may require correlating information from different sources and tools. How these can be integrated to support digital forensic investigations was the focus of the dissemination event “Cryptoassets and Digital Forensics: Integrated Solutions for Investigations”, organized by ICI Bucharest on Thursday, November 5, 2026.
Access to high-performance computing infrastructure and artificial intelligence expertise can be a challenge for businesses and public institutions looking to develop or test new digital solutions. However, some of these resources are available through European initiatives that support organisations interested in adopting advanced technologies.
Who is responsible when an artificial intelligence system causes harm? Is it enough for a company to purchase an AI solution from a trusted provider, or does it also have its own responsibilities regarding the security and use of that system? These questions were discussed during the panel “The AI Act in Practice: Who Is Really Accountable for Your AI?”, held on 2 November at AI Expo Europe 2026 in Bucharest.
