Sogeti Executive Summit 2026
Now what?

Your board wants AI in production this quarter. Your regulator wants evidence. Your customers want answers they can rely on. Today, many launch decisions still rest on perception and a vendor’s benchmark, and it is hard to sign off on the risk.
This session shows how to turn “how confident are we in our AI systems?” into a decision an executive can stand behind, because confidence comes from evidence, not from impressions.
We walk through one complete method, end to end, from the first request to launch and beyond. It starts where the business risk is: what could go wrong for your business and your customers, your finances and your license to operate, and what each failure would cost. From there, every step builds the evidence that confidence rests on. Every decision has a named owner. The threshold for “good enough” is agreed before the results are in. The evidence is independent, and every release carries conditions that hold as models change.
You will leave knowing the questions to ask your teams and your vendors, and what the EU AI Act, NIST, ISO/IEC 42001 and AIUC-1 do and do not cover. Sponsored by INTEL

As organizations increasingly rely on cloud platforms, questions of sovereignty, compliance and portability are becoming critical. This session explores how to balance the flexibility of the cloud with the demands of sovereignty ensuring data protection, regulatory alignment and strategic independence. We will share practical approaches to assessing your exposure to sovereignty requirements, evaluating the readiness of your current environment and redefining your cloud landscape. You will learn how to build architectures and applications that remain portable across environments while meeting evolving compliance needs empowering teams to innovate without losing control.

This session looks at the shift from AI as an augmentation technology to AI as part of the enterprise operating model. It focuses on agentic readiness, where autonomous agents can collaborate across applications, data, workflows, people, and heterogeneous compute environments. The session covers the transition from fragmented automation to an open, orchestrated AI-first architecture, including agent-driven workflows, orchestration layers, observability and governance of autonomous systems, balancing trust, control, and the data and integration foundations required to achieve greater efficiency, resilience, and adaptability.

Software has been a core business differentiator and growth engine. Now, more than ever, it is fundamentally reimagining the traditional “make or buy” dilemma. At the heart of this shift are agents. Domain and application experts are teaming with agents to not just change how software is engineered, but to redefine how it evolves re-centering product on the experience, reshaping application design and unlocking a new rhythm of continuous delivery. Step behind the scenes of this transformation and see what an agentic software squad truly looks like: humans and agents collaborating to amplify impact, delivering features at speed without compromising security or quality.

When AI agents begin buying on behalf of customers, commerce infrastructure becomes a strategic choice with long-term consequences. This session combines executive framing with real platform evidence: Shopify will present their agentic storefront model (ChatGPT, Google, Copilot integrations, real merchant data), and we’ll analyze what it reveals about the post-bubble future. Together we’ll surface the real executive questions: not “Can this scale?” but “Where does autonomy create advantage vs. exposure? Who controls ranking, data, and customer relationships? What happens when vendor strategies define long-term dependencies?”. Sponsored by SHOPIFY
