Driving Trusted Decisions
Where mathematical optimization comes to life
We’re living in the age of AI, where insight is everywhere—but true impact is rare. While generative AI and machine learning can accelerate exploration by surfacing patterns, scenarios, and possibilities, turning those insights into defensible, high-value decisions requires a different kind of AI: mathematical optimization.
As everyday business decisions become increasingly tangled with complexity, optimization determines the best course of action within real-world limits to ensure not just better, but optimal outcomes for airlines, healthcare, finance, and beyond.
Following an unforgettable experience at Vienna's Hofburg Palace last year, the 2026 Gurobi Decision Intelligence Summit will bring us to Prague's iconic Fantova Budova. At the 2026 Gurobi Decision Intelligence Summit, we’ll showcase the real-world impact of optimization through innovative use cases, in-depth trainings, and expert-led panels, while also exploring how GenAI can break down barriers to entry and help more users leverage optimization’s powerful potential.
Join us to discover why 70% of the world’s leading enterprises trust their most complex business decisions to Gurobi, and learn how your organization can start achieving optimal outcomes, too.
