Transforming Business with the Data & AI Operating Model

Artificial Intelligence is no longer a distant vision — it is already transforming the way we design, produce, and compete.

In the heart of the Brainport Eindhoven region, where manufacturing excellence and technological innovation converge, the opportunity is clear: AI and data can unlock new value streams, accelerate innovation, and strengthen competitiveness.

Yet the reality is equally clear: while many organizations experiment, only few succeed in scaling AI and embedding it into their daily operations.

On Thursday, November 6, join Xebia and a select group of peers for an exclusive dinner to explore one central question:

How can we adapt our Data & AI operating models to turn potential into tangible business impact?

• AI is already here – It’s reshaping engineering, R&D, and production.
• Scaling is the challenge – Many pilots, few success stories in operations.
• Learn from peers and experts – Gain pragmatic insights and share experiences in a trusted setting.
