Following the resounding success of the first edition, the National Congress on Autonomous Systems (NCAS) will return on 2nd of April 2026. Same format, but slightly more ambitious!

We are at the dawn of the Autonomy Economy, in which (AI-driven) autonomous systems make work across all sectors smarter, more efficient, and safer. Autonomous—meaning self-directing, unmanned, and self-learning—systems will become indispensable for tackling major societal and technological challenges in every sector, and they represent the fastest route to increasing labor productivity and safeguarding our economic earning potential (Draghi).

The rapid rise of autonomous systems—with old barriers being broken down at record speed—offers unprecedented opportunities across the economy and society: for process owners to elevate their operations to the highest level, and for the chain of high-tech technology providers to innovate with real impact.
