The goal of the conference is to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and showcase the latest advancements in biotechnology and the application of artificial intelligence.
This year’s programme covers topics that are shaping the future of medicine and healthcare, ranging from the development of next-generation therapies and improvements in diagnostics to the use of artificial intelligence in scientific research and the creation of biotechnological innovations.
Director of the Office for IT and eGovernment Mihailo Jovanović said that over the past few years, Serbia has built a robust digital infrastructure to support the development of AI and the application of new technologies across science, medicine and business.

The conference is organised by the Government of the Republic of Serbia and the Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution in Serbia, in collaboration with the Office for IT and eGovernment, the World Economic Forum and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with the support of the BIO4 Campus.
