Mediterranean Artificial Intelligence Forum 2026 in Marseille

The Mediterranean Artificial Intelligence Forum (FMIA) returns to Marseille for its third edition at the Palais du Pharo. A full day connecting both shores of the Mediterranean around AI applied to industry, healthcare, agriculture and maritime sectors, with sovereignty, ethics, environment and education as cross-cutting themes. Across seven programme highlights, the day features a flagship plenary with the regional strategic report by Cédric Villani and Lamiae Azizi, a co-creation track with 12 multidisciplinary teams, a citizen forum on trust, open workshops and a research prize. In parallel, the Business Expo hosts an exhibition area, a business track and B2B meetings with Business France and the Med IA investor community. Around 700 participants from more than 20 countries are expected: public decision-makers, entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, international organisations and civil society representatives. The event is designed to turn conversations into tangible outcomes for the Euro-Mediterranean ecosystem. The Palais du Pharo at 58 Boulevard Charles Livon sits next to the Vieux-Port and a short walk from the historic centre, with a wide choice of hotels for attendees.
