CORE Innovation Days is back for its 3rd edition on 3 November 2026, at the Benaki Museum in Athens.

Where AI Meets Physical Reality

This year, the spotlight is on Physical AI & Industry 5.0, the next industrial revolution.

Industry 5.0 is no longer just about automating tasks. It's about autonomous, resilient, and human-centric industrial ecosystems. At CID 3, we bridge the gap between digital intelligence and physical industrial reality, driving the transition from automation to autonomy.

CID 3 once again brings together industry leaders, researchers, technology providers, and policymakers.
