20 & Beyond: Life Improved by AI
To celebrate 20 years of Heaven Solutions, we invited developers, students and founders to build AI-powered solutions to real problems: in medical devices, healthcare software, logistics, government services and smart cities, or a domain of their own choosing.
Iași, 20 to 25 October 2025. The event has taken place; this page is kept as a record.
