From April 15th to 19th of this year, an international project was carried out on the campus of the University of Economics in Katowice in collaboration with Howest University of Applied Science in Belgium, with the participation of our guests and students from the University of Economics in Katowice. The entire event was supervised by the Vice-Rector for Education and International Relations, Prof. Sławomir Smyczek, Ph.D., and Dean Justyna Ganassali, Prof. UE. The project focused on how to use AI to build and subsequently promote startups in the market.
