About this event
In two Czech regions facing economic decline from exiting coal, we test in an RCT with 173 firms whether AI-focused group workshops could foster the adoption of a new technology, innovation and growth. The treatment proved effective in the short term, leading to increased AI adoption and innovation. Firms with higher risk aversion show treatment effects on AI adoption that are nearly three times larger than those for less risk-averse firms. Multiple employee participation further amplified these effects, with firms sending several representatives achieving greater technology adoption within the firm. Results demonstrate that even in transition regions with low trust and limited business collaboration, properly designed group training can foster new business connections and knowledge exchange, enabling successful technology adoption.
Participants are expected to adhere to the Events Code of Conduct.
