Scaling Enterprise AI: A Transatlantic Perspective
Building an AI prototype has never been easier. Turning it into a reliable, secure and cost-effective system that works inside a large organization remains much harder.
Enterprise knowledge is often scattered across legacy software, databases, documents and workflows shaped by years of approvals and exceptions. AI can help companies bring that knowledge together and modernize complex processes, but moving from a successful demonstration to production requires much more than a model.
Join Barcelona-based Timbal AI and global venture firm Cathay Innovation at CI’s San Francisco office for an evening focused on building and deploying enterprise AI at scale, and how European technology companies can successfully expand into the US enterprise market.
With European roots and local teams on the ground in the United States and other global markets, Cathay Innovation works as a bridge between startups, industries and regions, powering transformative partnerships on a global scale.
The evening
Live Demo Timbal AI will take a complex enterprise process, the kind involving multiple systems, data sources, approvals and exceptions—and build a working use case live on stage using natural language.
The demonstration will cover the interface, backend, data layer and AI infrastructure, showing how an enterprise workflow can be translated into a functioning application.
Panel & Open Conversation A practical discussion about moving enterprise AI from experimentation to production and scaling technology across markets. We will explore:
Building versus buying—and integrating AI with legacy systems and proprietary data
Reliability, security and enterprise requirements
Managing deployment costs, procurement and measurable ROI
The impact of AI on teams and workflows
What US enterprise customers expect from technology partners
What European AI companies need to succeed in the US market
Networking Pizza, drinks and conversation with founders, engineers, enterprise operators and investors working on the next generation of enterprise AI.
