Road to Summit in València

On March 5-6, 2026, the ValencianTech Int. Workshop on Data Analytics, Algorithms, and Artificial Intelligence will be held at the CPI building (Red Cube) of the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV).

This international event is jointly organized by the ICSO Meta Consolidated Research Group (CIAICO/2024/117) at the CIGIP, the Decision Science Alliance (DSA), and the EURO WG on Business Analytics and AI Interfaces.

The workshop will feature sessions focusing on applied research and technology transfer. Discussions will include:

– Business Analytics: Advancements in predictive modeling, data analytics, and their application in strategic decision-making for companies.

– Artificial Intelligence: Development of AI algorithms, machine learning, and Generative AI models, and their uses in enterprise digitization processes.

– Industrial Optimization: Metaheuristic algorithms to enhance efficiency, from logistics and transportation to finance and insurance.

– Computing: Computational aspects of data analytics, artificial intelligence, and optimization algorithms.

Managers, researchers, industry professionals, and PhD/MS students in the fields of data analytics, artificial intelligence, computing, and optimization algorithms are encouraged to participate. The workshop provides an excellent platform to share ideas, meet young and senior researchers in these fields, foster public-private collaborations, and explore the latest trends and advancements.

Authors of the five best works presented at ValencianTech’26, as selected by the Scientific Committee, will be invited to submit a full paper to a Special Issue of the open-access journal Algorithms, which has an impact factor of 2.1 (Q2 in JCR) and a CiteScore of 4.5 (Q1 in Scopus). If the paper is submitted in due time, it is accepted after the standard peer-review process, and the first or corresponding author has a reasonable high Scopus h-index, the publication fee will be fully waived.

What’s Road to Summit?

A three-city roadshow – Rome, Lugano, Valencia – featuring theme-focused hackathons, with finalists showcasing and competing at the Decision Science Summit 2026 in Madrid.

Each event will bring together innovators, data scientists and decision-makers to push the boundaries of AI-driven decision science.

The Road to Summit is the path leading to Decision Science Summit in Madrid 2026, where the future of decision science takes shape.
