Connecting Brussels SMEs To European AI Infrastructure

Connecting Brussels SMEs To European AI Infrastructure
Brussels, Belgium
22 October 2026 17:30–20:00

Are you an SME or public sector organisation looking to test, validate or scale an AI solution, but unsure which European infrastructure or support mechanism is right for you?

On 22 October 2026, a networking event at the FARI AI & Experience Center in Brussels, organised together with the VUB through sustAIn.brussels, will bring together key initiatives supporting AI innovation and adoption across Europe.

Among them will be the European Testing and Experimentation Facilities (TEFs), giving participants the opportunity to learn more about how organisations can access facilities designed to support the testing and experimentation of AI solutions in such sectors as agrifood, manufacturing, smart cities and healthcare.

The event will also bring together representatives from AI Factories, the Belgium AI Antenna and AI regulatory sandboxes, offering participants a broader view of the European AI infrastructure landscape and the different forms of support available.

Concrete use cases will illustrate how organisations are already navigating these opportunities. The evening will then continue with a networking session and dedicated booths, where participants can speak directly with infrastructure providers, including the TEFs.

For organisations interested in testing AI solutions, accessing specialised facilities or understanding which European infrastructure can best support their next stage of development, the event provides a valuable opportunity to explore the available options and connect directly with the organisations behind them.

The event is part of the European AI Innovation Month, a coordinated series of events led by the European Commission showcasing AI innovation and adoption across Europe.
