"81% of European financial services leaders are concerned their organisation’s approach to technology-related risk is insufficient in the face of emerging AI."
EY, 2025
Dutch financial institutions are leading AI adoption across Europe, with 65% already using advanced technologies (EIB, 2025). The best in class are embedding AI into core operations, unlocking tangible gains in productivity, efficiency, and customer experience.
But despite strong progress, only 2% of EU FSIs have mature AI governance frameworks (EPAM, 2025). As you move into uncharted territory, several difficult questions emerge: What level of sovereignty do you need? How do you apply guardrails to your infrastructure to ensure regulatory compliance? And as workloads expand, how will you unify data, security, and observability into a single operating model?
Join us as we explore these challenges and define how you can scale AI with control and confidence.
