    STATE OF AI 2026 by PeaceTech Hub Vienna - Recap from the Panelist Chair

    Our Founder Kasia Sadowska joined a panel alongside Kambis Kohansal Vajargah, Merve Taner, and Moritz Weinhofer at the State of AI 2026 event in Vienna - discussing agentic AI, European competitiveness, and trust-first deployment.

    By Kasia Sadowska

    Vienna brought the right mix of corporates and start-ups to talk real deployment, not hype. I joined a fireside chat on the Agentic Helix with an opening talk by Andrei I. Cursaru, moderated by Orion Forowycz and fellow panellists Kambis Kohansal Vajargah, Merve Taner, and Moritz Weinhofer.

    What we dug into

    • Tech & Competitiveness: A Made in Europe path built on trust, standards, and deep domain focus
    • Governance & Accountability: Provenance, audit trails, and certifications that work across borders
    • People & Workforce: Human in the loop by design, with skills that match new agent workflows
    • Policy & Innovation: Open interfaces and shared data spaces to speed adoption
    • Security & Trust: From energy stability to critical infrastructure, resilience first
