CNTF Members at the 16th CogInfoCom Conference

The 16th Conference on Cognitive Infocommunications (CogInfoCom) took place this year between 8–9 October, hosted by the MODUL University Vienna . The international event serves as one of the leading scientific forums in the interdisciplinary field of cognitive infocommunications, bringing together experts in artificial intelligence, cognitive sciences, and information technology.

The CNTF Workshop was represented by several of its members throughout the conference. Zoltán Cséfalvay, György Papp, and Zalán Horlik delivered presentation entitled “Artificial Intelligence Scaleups and Their Knowledge Background in European Cities.” Their research explored the knowledge networks and growth dynamics of AI scale-up companies across Europe. The presentation received considerable attention from participants and the scientific committee alike — earning the trio the Best Presentation Award, which was officially presented during the Monday evening banquet.

In addition to the oral presentation, other CNTF members showcased their ongoing research projects in the poster session, engaging in discussions with participants and international researchers. The CNTF stand became one of the most active meeting points of the poster exhibition, fostering lively professional exchanges.

After the conference, on 9 October, the CNTF delegation visited the Vienna Institute for Global Studies (VIGS), where they met with Zoltán Ács. During the visit, the two teams presented their respective research areas, exchanged insights, and explored opportunities for future collaboration between the institutions.

The CNTF Workshop’s strong presence at CogInfoCom 2025 and their award-winning research highlight the group’s growing contribution to the international discourse on artificial intelligence and cognitive infocommunications.
