Scientific Conference
On March 18, 2026, Turiba University will host the XXVII International Scientific Conference "ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION: INNOVATIONS, OPPORTUNITIES, AND ETHICAL CHALLENGES." The conference is organized by the Faculty of Information Technologies.
This year's conference theme highlights the significance of integrating digital technologies across various sectors, including business, education, tourism, and more. We will explore the opportunities artificial intelligence provides, the innovative potential of its applications across sectors, and associated risks, challenges, and ethical considerations. The conference serves as a platform for scientists, entrepreneurs, and policymakers to exchange experiences, discuss digital transformation challenges, and develop new collaborative models for sustainable growth.
The conference will also present the annual results of the Turiba Business Index research, providing an in-depth analysis of Latvia's business environment from the perspective of companies of various sectors, regions, sizes, and ownership structures (both local and international). This monitoring study not only assesses the current situation but, through dynamic analysis, helps predict future trends in the business environment.
As usual, scientific research sessions will be organized, providing researchers the opportunity to present their work and participate as speakers or attendees the thematic sessions as listeners.
