Klemensas Mecejus will present a practical case study session on why Europe’s next AI race is not about model announcements, but about production workflows. Drawing on AI71 deployment work across government, construction, defense, telecom, and regulated enterprise sectors, the session explains how leaders move from pilots to governed, secure, and measurable AI operations. It covers workflow ownership, data access, cybersecurity, privacy, model risk approval, adoption, value capture, and the operating model required to industrialize sovereign and enterprise AI. Attendees will leave with a deployment checklist for selecting high-value workflows, preparing data and controls, aligning business and technical owners, and measuring whether AI is creating operational value rather than just producing demos.
