Big Tech Insights, Strong Industry Voices and Even More Real World AI
Week nine at the Data Innovation Summit XI Edition keeps the momentum high. The program continues to grow with deep technical stories, strong industry cases, and practical lessons from organizations working with data and AI at true scale. This week brings a clear focus on data understanding, data quality, and intelligent automation in real operational environments.
New Speakers
We are excited to welcome new speakers from Meta, HEINEKEN International and Skatteetaten, each bringing hands-on experience from complex data ecosystems. From Meta, Vasileios Lakafosis shares how data is understood and governed at massive scale, highlighting a long term journey built around privacy by design, early data schematization, and a shared privacy language used across products. The session offers rare insight into how large organizations can embed privacy and data understanding directly into product development.
From HEINEKEN International, Ralph Foorthuis dives into what it really takes to deliver high quality data products. Drawing from both industry practice and academic research, the session explores how to specify data quality, detect anomalies, and design architectures that support reliable data across different data types, all illustrated with clear examples.
On the Industry Day, Filippo Remonato from Skatteetaten presents a compelling public sector use case, showing how tax claims move from manual review to intelligent automation. The session demonstrates how AI can speed up processes, improve accuracy, and create real impact in government operations when applied thoughtfully.
New Partners
We are happy to welcome a strong group of new partners joining the XI Edition ecosystem. A special welcome to our Powered By Partner, Databricks, who has been with us throughout the years and continues to strengthen the practical and technical backbone of the event. We also warmly welcome Scalefree, Futurice, EPAM, PCG, WhereScape, Cloudian, Dremio, Alteryx, and Kovant.
With every week, the XI Edition becomes richer, more practical, and more connected to real world challenges. From global tech leaders to industry and public sector practitioners, the stories shared show how data and AI are truly built, governed, and scaled today. More announcements are coming soon.
See you in Stockholm!
