Panel 1

From Pilot to P&L

Where AI is actually paying

Industrial companies have dozens of pilots and very few systems in production. Vendors promise payback in six months. Nobody says out loud who is accountable for the gap.

  • Value before, value after — and who measured it
  • The projects that were stopped, and why
  • Honest payback: what the vendor controls, and what the customer must do
  • Where does the value sit — vendor or customer?

On stage

Panel 2

The Permission to Deploy

Security, data and governance as the condition for scale

Security and data are where AI deployment actually stalls. The pilots exist; what stops them reaching production is a risk function that cannot sign off, and a data foundation that will not bear the weight.

  • The biggest obstacles to AI deployment
  • Agentic AI and security: identity and authorisation
  • Data as the other gate: provenance, lineage, quality
  • The AI Act in practice — and sovereignty

On stage

Panel 3

Who Builds What Next

Infrastructure, capital and European AI at scale

Sweden has the energy and the data, France has the models and the capital deployed. Neither reaches scale alone.

  • Where the compute actually gets built: power, grid, permits, chips
  • Who funds European AI
  • What makes a site bankable
  • What Franco-Swedish cooperation needs in the next twelve months
