MAY 11 — 13, 2027
Build the Foundation. Find the North.
In 2027, artificial intelligence is not the future — it is the urgent present. The companies that will succeed are not those with the best algorithms. They are the ones with the best leaders.
FoundAItion was born in Santander to bring together those who have already decided: IBEX 35 executives, founders of globally impactful startups, researchers shifting paradigms, and policymakers writing the rules. Four days. Five palaces. One north.
