d:u26 MASTERCLASSES

In this session, Mazda Motor Europe and Datasolut will demonstrate how they used Databricks to build a scalable data and AI platform, fully modernising data processing and insight generation in the process.

We receive customer enquiries every day in different languages, formats and levels of detail, and manual translation and interpretation were becoming an increasingly significant operational bottleneck. We will use this practical example to show how an AI-supported pipeline can automatically translate and classify incoming customer enquiries, enriching them with sentiment analysis. This means that enquiries from Spain, Germany, Italy or Poland are structured uniformly and processed in a comparable manner, significantly reducing manual effort while increasing transparency.

This session will show how AI can transform multilingual complexity into a strategic advantage, paving the way for a truly data-driven understanding of customers across Europe.

Most enterprise data tools demand technical expertise, cloud credentials, or IT tickets. Quick Suite breaks that pattern. Built on AWS, it gives every business user — no coding required — instant access to data visualization, automated workflows, AI-powered knowledge bases, and agentic task automation, all in one place. This Masterclass cuts through the hype with a live demo: real dashboards, real agents, real results. You will leave knowing exactly what Quick Suite can do for your team today, and what it takes to get started.

In their masterclass, Finanz Informatik, NVIDIA and HPE demonstrate how organizations can take control of their AI future with innovative solutions and sovereign AI and scale these capabilities reliably in enterprise operations.
Thorsten from Finanz Informatik provides insights into the S‑KI pilot—one of the largest AI implementations in the financial sector. Through generative and agentic AI assistance for roughly 200,000 employees of the Sparkassen‑Finanzgruppe, this initiative marks the shift from a pure assistant system to an agentic platform. The focus is on user‑centered development of transformative use cases, deep integration into core‑banking processes, and lessons learned from a successful AI transformation within the Sparkassen‑Finanzgruppe.
Jochen from NVIDIA explains how modern AI enterprise architectures enable sovereign, high-performance, and energy-efficient AI factories. Using modular layer models and technologies such as NVIDIA NIM™ and NVIDIA NeMo™, organizations can rapidly integrate new models and deploy them at scale.
Marcel from HPE adds the operational perspective on MLOps and LLMOps, emphasizing operational stability through model CI/CD pipelines, monitoring, and testing to detect hallucinations and performance drift.
Together, the session illustrates how organizations can evolve from initial use cases to sovereign, scalable AI factories, powered by NVIDIA AI Computing by HPE—combining NVIDIA accelerated computing and AI software with HPE enterprise infrastructure to operationalize AI securely and at scale.

Escaping the FOMO cycle: Why boring corporate AI wins.

- A plea for boring AI and prudence amid the hype: so that we can make good use of the opportunities offered by new AI agents and organize our work effectively.

- Key practical foundations for success, consisting of a clean database and reliable governance

- Practical examples of how companies today use AI to support critical tasks

Most AI initiatives in the Mittelstand don't fail because of the technology – they fail because of the approach. Missing strategy, isolated pilot projects, AI architecture that doesn't fit the existing IT landscape, and change management that gets forgotten entirely. In this masterclass, Christoph Knöll first addresses the most common mistakes head-on – then opens up the complete Operational AI methodology that Neurawork has used to successfully guide dozens of companies through AI transformation.
You'll learn step by step how an AI transformation actually needs to be structured: how to derive the right use cases from your business strategy. Why governance, architecture, and change must be part of the equation from day one. How to build an AI architecture that fits your IT landscape – without creating a three-year consolidation nightmare. And how to move from strategy to running implementation that delivers measurable business impact.
This is not a textbook framework – it's a holistic end-to-end methodology, proven in practice. This masterclass is a unique opportunity to have it shared with you openly and completely.
What you'll take away:

• The most common mistakes in AI transformation – and how to avoid them from the start
• The complete Operational AI methodology: from strategy through use cases, governance, architecture, and change to implementation
• Concrete methods for strategy workshops, use case development, and AI architecture that fits your existing IT
• A clear roadmap you can apply in your own organization the moment you leave this room
