Developing an artificial intelligence solution is only part of the process. For companies and institutions to put these solutions into practice, they need technical resources, regulatory compliance, and appropriate security measures. These challenges were among the main topics discussed at INNOPRO 2026, an event attended by the National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest.
The use of artificial intelligence in healthcare, patient data protection, and the integration of new technologies into medical practice were among the topics discussed at BEHEALTH 2026. The National Institute for Research and Development in Informatics – ICI Bucharest participated in the event as part of the “Digital Health” panel, alongside representatives of the European Commission, academia, and companies from the technology and healthcare sectors.
Access to advanced digital infrastructure, skilled professionals, and trusted partnerships is essential for organizations seeking to adopt advanced technologies. Cooperation between Romania and Japan can help address these challenges through joint research projects, the testing of artificial intelligence solutions, and technology transfer to industry.
