SME Cyber Event: Explore how to turn AI Act compliance into a competitive advantage for your business<\/strong><\/p>\n

Webinar: <\/strong>The Compliance Playbook for SMEs under the EU Artificial Intelligence Act<\/p>\n

Date: <\/strong>30 April 2026<\/p>\n

Time: <\/strong>14:00 CET<\/p>\n

The EU Artificial Intelligence Act (AIA) is now becoming a reality, with new obligations for high-risk AI systems expected to apply soon. For SMEs, this means a fundamental shift in how AI is developed, integrated, and commercialised, impacting product design, third-party tools, contracts, and risk management. At the same time, this shift creates a clear opportunity to turn AI uptake into a competitive differentiator and a powerful signal of trust.<\/p>\n

Join this session to gain a practical, business-oriented understanding of how the AI Act applies to your business and how to act on it. You will hear directly from leading companies and experts working at the forefront of AI compliance, who will share concrete solutions and real-world approaches to navigating the new regulatory landscape.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
