The event AI Powering Product Development – DIMECC’s 17th Annual Seminar in Collaboration with Aalto Design Factory will take place on November 12th at Aalto Design Factory in Espoo. We will start with lunch at 11:00 and continue with the seminar, followed by the new Product Development Path Makers award by Aalto Design Factory, ceremony and cocktails until 19:00.
The seminar will feature AI keynotes, foresight insights, and industrial cases on AI powering product development. We will explore AI from various perspectives, including better business planning and resilience, improved process efficiency and quality, and enhanced customer process performance.
