Businesses are moving beyond AI pilots, but scaling the technology remains a challenge. Data foundations, governance, infrastructure and measurable returns will determine whether AI investments translate into operational value.
The AI & Big Data Expo Europe 2026, taking place October 19–20 at RAI Amsterdam, will bring enterprise technology leaders together to explore agentic AI, data strategy, AI governance and deployment at scale.
Enterprise AI Needs More Than Promising Models
The agenda examines why AI initiatives struggle to move into production and what organizations need to make them sustainable.
Philippe Rambach, SVP and Chief Artificial Intelligence Officer at Schneider Electric, will discuss the technical foundations required to scale AI reliably. Meanwhile, Murat Akturk, Global Senior Director of Growth, AI & Digital Innovation at GE Healthcare, will join a discussion on turning AI models into lasting business capabilities.
The focus is shifting towards architecture, integration and operating models that can support AI beyond isolated experiments.
Governance and Trust Become Business Priorities
As AI systems become more autonomous, organizations must establish clear oversight and accountability.
Shruti Sharma, Chief Data & AI Officer at Save the Children UK, and Vincent Decugis, Chief Data Officer at BNP Paribas Europe-Mediterranean, are among the featured speakers exploring the wider enterprise AI landscape.
The agenda also addresses cross-functional AI governance, regulatory developments and the need for transparent, trustworthy systems. For business leaders, the challenge is balancing faster adoption with appropriate controls.
Data Strategy Underpins AI at Scale
The expo also covers data products, analytics, AI architecture and the integration of data with business strategy. These discussions matter because even sophisticated AI systems struggle when organizations lack reliable data foundations or clear ownership.
The event brings together experts across finance, healthcare, technology, energy and other sectors to share practical approaches to deployment and governance.
