Košice is becoming the capital of innovation. The future is happening here.
The Košice region is experiencing a technological breakthrough. Innovation and Tech Week (ITWK) transforms the Kunsthalle in Košice into a hub where visionaries, world experts from IBM and AWS, and ambitious startups meet. It is a week when barriers fall and Silicon Valley knowledge is literally at your fingertips.
We connect talent with capital and courage with technology.
Admission to most events is free. Just come and experience the inaugural edition that changes the game.
The grand finale of high-school startups, where teams can win support of up to €20,000 to complete their project. See the talents of the Košice region in action, already solving world-class problems.
Experience raw startup energy. Get ready for sharp pitching. Startups will face investors and fight for an investment of €10,000.
Cross the boundary of theory and enter the era where artificial intelligence meets quantum advantage. AI & Quantum Conference in Košice is a high-signal event designed for leaders and builders who want to move innovations from labs to real-world deployment. World-class experts led by Ismael Faro from IBM are coming to Košice.
We will celebrate the success of the best among us. The entire week will culminate with the prestigious Slovak Innovation and Startup Awards.
Join us for OdkukajTo event, this time in the heart of Košice. Together we will open the topic of innovation in business and welcome guests from the east who are changing the rules of the game.
Today, building an app no longer requires years of studying programming languages. All you need is a good idea and the ability to ask the right questions. Martin from Visma Labs will introduce you to the phenomenon of “Vibe Coding” — creating technology through natural language and AI. We will show that programming in 2026 is more about creativity than syntax and how you can leverage these AI skills, even if you are not a tech person.
Artificial intelligence is no longer just a buzzword — it is a total game-changer that is fundamentally reshaping software development. Join us for a packed workshop by GlobalLogic Slovakia. We will show you how to turn AI experiments into a real superpower and how to deploy AI effectively into every phase of your Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC).
For: university students and professionals · Language: Slovak · Entry: free
MUST HAVE: your own laptop with installed tools — Gemini CLI / Copilot CLI / Claude CLI / Cursor CLI / Codex CLI, Coding IDE (VS Code), Git.
What to expect:
Capacity is limited, please register only if you can commit.
Every generation gets a moment when the rules are rewritten. This is yours. We will talk about why prompting is not enough, what AI agents are, and why now — not in five years — is the right time to build differently.
Speaker: Tomáš Lörinc
Most companies are already experimenting with AI chatbots, but the real value emerges when AI starts to safely help with concrete business processes. In this hands-on workshop we will show how the Microsoft Agent Framework can be used to design a solution where multiple specialized AI agents collaborate — an agent that understands the request, an agent that works with documents, an agent that checks rules, and an agent that prepares the result for a human.
Participants will walk through a typical business scenario: processing an unstructured request, extracting information, deciding on the next step, involving a human in approval and preparing output for an internal system or customer communication. The workshop is not only about technology, but also about architecture, security, output control, auditability and the boundaries of AI autonomy.
The goal is to show how to think about AI agents practically — not as a “magic chatbot”, but as a managed digital team with clear roles, rules, tools, and a place where the decision must remain with a human.
