Future of Work: AI Builders 2027 | Unicorn Embassy Belgrade
What to build to grow a successful product in 2027. Three talks on the main stage, a startup pitch session with a jury, then open networking. All talks are in English. Free entry, registration required.
For ten years the product was a team's main asset - AI is changing that. We are getting together with people who build, launch and scale tech products, to work out what is worth building in 2027 and what actually turns a product into a company.

Pitch session
Get feedback on your product: the jury and the room ask sharp questions about your go-to-market, your product and your growth plans. Five minutes to pitch, then questions from the jury.
Track A: AI-native startups. A shipped product or a clear traction signal, with AI at the core rather than bolted on.
Track B: AI-first agencies. Teams that sell outcomes, not seats: a small crew plus agents delivering what used to take a whole department. This is the business model coming after B2B SaaS: service revenue with software-like margins.
To pitch, pick your track in the registration form and add a link to your project. Questions about pitching and anything else go to our community chat on Telegram, @unicornembassy_belgrade.
