This Wednesday in Berlin, we hosted Transform or Face Disruption—an executive summit that brought together visionary minds from across industries to tackle the most pressing question facing corporate IT today: How can top leadership maintain strategic oversight as software and AI reshape the very core of their organizations?
We extend our deepest thanks to our incredible partners who made this summit possible: KPMG, the German Deep Tech Group, and the Hasso Plattner Institute. Their commitment to shaping the future of enterprise technology enabled us to gather some of the brightest leaders and boldest thinkers in one room. Our special thanks also go out to Holger Pott, Partner and CTO at KPMG, for hosting the event.
A special thank you to our outstanding speakers, who delivered insights from the very frontier of digital transformation:
Their presentations sparked deep conversations about the shift from SaaS to AI-as-a-Service, software transparency in boardroom strategy, and how AI will transform not only production pipelines, but also executive decision-making itself.
We were honored to welcome guests and contributors from an impressive list of companies and institutions, including (but far from limited to):
Volkswagen · Bayer · SAP · Microsoft · Bosch · ZF Friedrichshafen · Lufthansa Industry Solutions · Allianz · Siemens Healthineers · ProSiebenSat.1 · Zalando · AOK · Catena-X · Deutsche Börse · PwC · Cognizant · Stellantis · Hella · DLR · Riverty · Nvidia · BASF · EDAG · Zürich Versicherung · Roland Berger · Otto Group · Österreichische Post · EnBW · KION Group · SoftwareOne · QAware · MaibornWolff · IAV · Chrona · grandcentrix · HelloFresh · Horn & Company · Humboldt-Universität · Manager Magazin · and many more.
It was truly inspiring to see leaders from software, automotive, finance, energy, pharma, logistics, and public sector exchange ideas, challenge assumptions, and align on how to lead their organizations through disruption—not react to it.
