About Event

This roundtable explores how vertical AI and hard-tech are moving beyond pilots to deliver measurable outcomes in industrial environments. We’ll discuss what it takes to scale—from data and integration to operational reliability and economics—so these technologies become trusted, repeatable parts of day-to-day operations and supply chains.

Main points:
• From Pilot to Production: What separates scalable deployments from promising experiments.
• Integration & Data Reality: Making AI/hard-tech work with existing infrastructure, workflows, and imperfect data.
• Operational Trust & ROI: Reliability, uptime, accountability, and the proof points that drive adoption and long-term value.
