Top Experts from Microsoft, Google, Samsung, and IBM Coming to the Most Significant AI Event in Southeast Europe

For the second year in a row, Sarajevo will host the largest artificial intelligence summit in Southeast Europe – Kiss the Future 2025, taking place on September 25 and 26, 2025.

This tech event carries great importance for Bosnia and Herzegovina, with its main program held at the National Theatre Sarajevo, accompanied by three additional venues hosting workshops, panels, and demonstrations of AI solutions.

The summit is organized by Blum Institute, the first AI development institute in Bosnia and Herzegovina, in cooperation with Bloomteq. It is held under the patronage of the Presidency of Bosnia and Herzegovina, with support from UniCredit Bank. The event focuses on one of the most pressing topics of our time—the development of business and the future of living with artificial intelligence.

With high-quality content spread across central city locations, Kiss the Future AI Summit 2025 presents a valuable opportunity for Sarajevo and Bosnia and Herzegovina to once again welcome top experts from the most successful and influential companies in the world.

For two full days, attendees will have the opportunity to hear and meet some of the best minds from companies such as Microsoft, Google DeepMind, OpenAI, Samsung Global Research, IBM, Fujitsu, AWS, Red Hat, Deutsche Welle, Spar, and many more.

“For the second year in a row, we are committed to delivering a high-quality, relevant, and up-to-date program in the field of artificial intelligence. Our focus is clearly defined: ‘The End of Hype. The Start of Impact.’—which is also this year’s official slogan. We aim to offer practical, applicable knowledge that transforms everyday life and business—immediately.

In September, we will welcome the world’s top leaders in technology and AI to Sarajevo—experts who are shaping the future of the world. The program and speaker lineup we’re preparing will bring a level of quality never before seen in Bosnia and Herzegovina.Our mission is clear: to make Sarajevo the regional epicenter of AI innovation, giving visitors from BiH and the region the chance to learn directly from global experts—without having to travel to London, Berlin, or San Francisco,” said the organizers from Sarajevo’s Blum Institute.

A Program for Everyone – From Business and Engineering to Media and Marketing

This year’s Kiss the Future AI Summit program is designed to offer tangible, ready-to-implement knowledge and current best practices, whether you’re a company executive, engineer, startup founder, student, or a representative of public institutions, universities, banks, media outlets, or marketing agencies.

In addition, attendees will have the chance to expand their professional networks by connecting with leading figures in the world of tech innovation—and enjoy exclusive evening events as part of the Kiss the Future experience.

The summit will take place across multiple themed stages, creating a true tech festival atmosphere in the heart of Sarajevo.

Alongside the main stage at the National Theatre, which will host major tech stars, additional programs will be held in parallel. For instance, engineers and engineering leaders will benefit from intensive two-day workshops and lectures covering the latest trends in the industry, offering hands-on knowledge for more efficient team and project development.

A third stage will cater to business professionals eager to explore the use of AI tools in sectors such as marketing, the creative industry, media, and similar fields. Each talk is tailored to deliver meaningful insights for participants in these industries.

The fourth stage—Investors Stage— will host an exclusive investment event organized by the AQVC Fund, featuring over 20 international investment funds specializing in artificial intelligence. This event represents a rare opportunity for regional and local investors to connect directly with global capital and leading figures in AI technology investment.

Adding further weight to the conference is the official visit from a delegation from Berlin, led by the Berlin Senate in partnership with the organization enpact. The delegation includes prominent startup founders, investors, and AI industry leaders, arriving in Sarajevo to explore investment and collaboration opportunities in the emerging Southeast European tech ecosystem.

Complementing the full program is Kiss the Future EXPO 2025, an exhibition zone featuring partner booths of the most promising local and regional companies.
