PHAROS AI Factory participated in the 4th Quo Vadis AI Conference, one of Greece’s most significant annual forums on the future of Artificial Intelligence, which took place on June 4th, 2026, in Athens. Held at the Divani Caravel Hotel under the auspices of the President of the Hellenic Republic, Konstantinos Tasoulas, the conference brought together political leadership, senior officials from European institutions, market CEOs, distinguished academics and leading industry experts.

This year’s edition took place at a pivotal moment for AI in Europe. With the EU AI Act in its gradual implementation phase, the conversation has shifted from policy design to the operational reality of how governments, businesses, and organizations actually navigate compliance, governance, and strategic AI adoption. Discussions spanned the transformation of the labor market, the meaningful integration of AI across sectors, emerging cybersecurity threats and the constitutional dimensions of artificial intelligence.

Afrodite Sevasti, CEO of Pharos S.A. took part in the high-level discussion on Europe’s and Greece’s role in the new era of AI, sharing an update on the ecosystem’s progress and the road ahead.

PHAROS’ participation in this forum reflects its role at the intersection of these conversations. As Greece’s national AI innovation ecosystem and one of the first seven AI Factories established under the EuroHPC Joint Undertaking, PHAROS is built to bridge the gap between advanced computing infrastructure, research, and the real-world needs of businesses, startups, and public sector organizations. Its mission is to make AI development accessible and grounded: giving organizations the tools, data, expertise, and infrastructure to build their own tailored AI solutions, in alignment with European values and the requirements of the EU AI Act.

The Quo Vadis AI Conference, now in its fourth consecutive year, is organized by Boussias Events. More information is available at aiconference.boussiasevents.gr.
