The AI For Future 2026 event in San Francisco brought together an international assembly of AI leaders, investors, and innovators, underscoring the global significance of artificial intelligence and its potential impact on various sectors. Held on November 5 as part of the WMF – We Make Future initiative, the event focused on fostering international collaboration and exploring investment opportunities in AI across different continents, including Europe, the United States, and Asia.
The gathering, organized by WMF and Search On Media Group, took place at Mind The Bridge and featured participants from numerous countries, including the United States, South Korea, Japan, and Italy. The event received support from the Italian Trade Agency and the Italian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, highlighting Italy’s active role in promoting AI and technology partnerships.
Key discussions revolved around the transformative potential of generative AI, as emphasized by Silicon Valley entrepreneur and AI expert Jerry Kaplan. The event also featured panels on AI investment and corporate adoption, with speakers like Alicia Hanf of LG NOVA and Angelo Del Priore of HP Tech Ventures examining the challenges and opportunities presented by emerging AI technologies.
In addition to discussions, the event introduced the “Beyond the Game” initiative, a new WMF Sports Innovation Track aimed at exploring the intersection of sports, AI, and technology. This initiative will debut at the WMF – We Make Future 2027 event in Bologna, Italy, further expanding the scope of AI’s application in diverse fields.
The AI 4 Future Startup Competition, held during the event, saw Luxembourg-based TerraSpark secure first place for its work on commercial space-based solar power systems. The competition also recognized Salute360, a digital health platform, and industrial cybersecurity company MON5, providing them with opportunities to exhibit at future international events and connect with venture capital funds.
Looking forward, the WMF International Roadshow will continue to connect innovation ecosystems globally, with upcoming events scheduled in Bengaluru and Thessaloniki. The 2027 schedule includes stops in Las Vegas, Barcelona, and Tallinn, culminating in the major gathering at BolognaFiere. These initiatives aim to strengthen cooperation and drive innovation across regions, aligning with broader goals such as Saudi Vision 2030 through events like Saudi Makes Future in Riyadh.
