Agentic Economy Forum
From Infrastructure to Execution: Building Germany's Role in the Agentic Economy
How do autonomous agents create business value? Who authorises their actions? And what does it take to move from experimentation to useful, reliable workflows?
Join founders, enterprise practitioners, builders and investors at the Agentic Economy Forum to explore these questions through practical examples, keynotes, panels and hands-on workshops.
The day combines three sequential Main Stage tracks with Build Arena workshops running alongside them. Choose between business and governance discussions on stage and practical sessions where you can build knowledge systems and workflows for your own work.
Who the Forum is for
We’re bringing together approximately 150 curated participants across four perspectives:
Build: founders, CTOs, engineers and product leaders developing agentic products and workflows.
Buy: executives and enterprise practitioners evaluating, purchasing or deploying agentic systems.
Fund: investors assessing the businesses, infrastructure and economics behind the agentic economy.
Govern: legal, policy and public-sector practitioners working on authority, accountability, compliance and AI sovereignty.
Already approved attendees include founders, executives, engineers and professionals working across product and operations, with affiliations including Siemens, BVG, TeamViewer, Seven Senders, Eventim and Xapo Bank.
These are attendee affiliations, alongside the organisations represented on stage.
