About the Workshop
Multimodal foundation models are becoming central to the next generation of artificial intelligence. By learning from and connecting different types of data — such as text, images, video, audio, 3D, sensors and other data streams — these models open new possibilities for more generalisable, robust and adaptable AI systems.
The workshop will feature invited talks by top researchers in the field, presenting recent developments in multimodal foundation model research. These scientific contributions will be complemented by an invited industry talk and a panel discussion on the role of AI-driven innovation in connecting research breakthroughs with practical applications.
On 1 July 2026, the European AI research community will gather in Barcelona for the Workshop on Multimodal Foundation Models: From Research to Innovation. Bringing together leading researchers, industry representatives and European AI initiatives, the event will create a space for scientific exchange, applied perspectives and discussion on the future of AI-driven innovation.
