Matteo Stefanini, PhD
CEO, AI Speaker, Exec Director, Event Organizer.
Reality: I enjoy meeting interesting people, traveling, and learning as much as possible.
What I do
Ardora AI: we create vertical AI Agents for specific sectors. I give speeches, training and workshops in Artificial Intelligence, speaking at events and conferences.
Courses or seminars of all levels to accelerate technology transfer in companies.
In my PhD I studied and contributed to recent technologies of Generative AI, LLMs, Vision and Language and Genomics, contributing to several important scientific papers.
In fact, I have published in Top International Conferences & Journals of Artificial Intelligence:
Google Scholar.
Some of the most important events and conferences that I organize:
Biomedical valley: main Italian conferences in Medtech & Healthcare, held in the largest biomedical district in Europe.
TEDx Forte dei Marmi: the only TEDx event held on a beach, focused on yachting, design, lifestyle and tourism, highlighting technology and sustainability.
TEDxMirandola: TEDx event with one of the largest communities in Italy, focused on life, science, culture and health.
I love finding connections between valuable people, businesses, universities, to create new collaborations, especially between different fields, with weak ties, because that’s where the radical innovation lies.
Quality networking is the best form of earnings, not only financially but also emotionally and socially.

Briefly
I have always felt out of place, but curious to know everything. I like to learn and connect different ideas and sectors. My greatest passions are science and entrepreneurship.
Today I speak about Artificial Intelligence, Innovation and Communication at events and in companies.
I organize conferences, coordinating Biomedical valley and TEDx events, in Mirandola and in the only location in the world on the beach, Forte dei Marmi.
In my PhD in Artificial Intelligence I worked on Deep Learning models, Generative AI, Vision & Language and Genomics. I was among the first in Italy to believe in Transformer models.
I am also passionate about longevity, boating, aviation and I am training to beat Elon at ping-pong on Mars.

Continuous training
Learning to learn is the only way to create and defend a sustainable competitive advantage. I aim to stimulate life-long learning with training courses for companies.
Artificial Intelligence will not replace man, but man who uses AI will replace the one who doesn’t.
I can help you not to be replaced.
