Future-Ready Teams: AI, Tools & Upskilling with government-supported trainings

​How can companies become future-ready using AI, smarter tools, and upskilling their teams with training costs and salary fully or largely covered through German government funding programs?

​Many teams want to use AI, automate repetitive work, and improve internal processes. Yet in practice, they face the same obstacles: limited time, skills gaps, unclear priorities, and uncertainty about where to start.

​This evening session brings together HR leaders, founders, and decision makers with companies that are already doing it and are willing to share what actually works (and what doesn’t).

​Expect a practical, honest conversation with:

• ​Valeria Castillo, Director of Global Content Marketing at Contentsquare

• ​Sergey Lukichev, Engineering Lead at Zalando

​Together, we’ll discuss:

• ​how teams introduce AI and automation in daily workflows

• ​how digital skills are changing hiring and internal structures

• ​common roadblocks in SMEs vs larger organisations

• ​and why upskilling existing teams is often more effective than hiring new ones

​We’ll also cover the training and public funding options available in Germany (Qualifizierungschancengesetz) that can significantly reduce or fully cover the cost of employee training making digitalisation more accessible than many companies expect.

​Followed by networking and buffet.
