Enterprise AI at Scale: How Europe and Middle East Leaders Are Uniting at tpo33

As digital content becomes increasingly abundant and technology evolves at a rapid pace, enterprise leaders face a common challenge: finding time for meaningful learning and connection. In today’s fast-moving landscape, traditional conference setups often struggle to provide the depth, focus, and practical insights that decision-makers need most.

To cover this, Stockholm-based Hyperight has launched tpo33. It is a series of immersive, highly curated and knowledge-sharing events designed to foster high-impact peer exchange. Built around collaborative problem-solving and open dialogue, the international series recently kicked off with back-to-back executive gatherings in Copenhagen and Dubai.

Copenhagen: Navigating and Governing Enterprise AI Agents at Scale

The series launched at the Scandic Spectrum in Copenhagen, bringing together 33 AI leaders for the tpo33 Chief AI Officer gathering. Co-hosted in partnership with Dataiku, the four-hour forum zeroed in on the practical realities, governance frameworks, and operational strategies required to manage autonomous AI agents in modern enterprises.

The program features insightful speeches and roundtable discussions moderated by key industry experts::

• Rasmus Winther Brink (Cluster Lead – Agents & Self-service at Danske Bank) explored the strategic placement of AI agents across organizational workflows. He demonstrated how building reusable platforms and unified data foundations enables institutions to transition from isolated AI pilots to scalable, enterprise-wide capabilities safely.
• Faye Murray (Field CDO EMEA at Dataiku) detailed essential operational practices for enterprise adoption. Her session highlighted the critical role of continuous governance, monitoring, and control mechanisms as organizations move agentic systems into mission-critical production environments.
• Giovanni Leoni (Performance & AI Business Lead, Global Supply Chain at Novo Nordisk) addressed the “productivity paradox” of AI. Drawing on decades of experience in responsible technology implementation, Leoni advocated for a thoughtful, value-oriented approach to Agentic AI deployment.

Following the presentations, delegates moved into interactive, small-group roundtable discussions to benchmark their internal frameworks, compare vendor ecosystems, and discuss operationalizing autonomous workflows.

Dubai: Aligning Data Strategy with Measurable Business Outcomes

Following the Nordic summit, the tpo33 momentum expanded into the Middle East, convening 33 senior decision-makers at Neera Dubai for the tpo33 Chief Data Officer executive forum. Co-hosted alongside technology partners MinIO, Starburst, and Edgematics Group, the summit centered on the theme “Connecting Data Strategy, Technology, and Business Outcome”.

As regional digital transformation accelerates, the role of the modern CDO continues to shift away from pure governance toward active value creation. Leading experts addressed this evolving mandate across three core sessions:

• Deepak Kumar (Group Head of Data & AI at Al-Futtaim Group) opened with a strategic roadmap on how CDOs can design data strategies that directly generate measurable ROI while establishing trusted foundations for enterprise AI.
• Zaheer Ahmed Khan (V.P. Architecture & Consulting at Edgematics Group Technology), Ahmad Mousa (Field CTO META at MinIO), and Philippe Boukaka (Senior Solutions Architect at Starburst) jointly presented “The Architecture of Agility.” The trio evaluated open versus proprietary data platforms, unified cloud-native architectures, and federated data models designed to preserve long-term flexibility.
• Michelle Hoang (Data & Transformation Leader at Emirates NBD) delivered “Successful Architecture: Build for what comes next,” sharing lessons from large-scale banking transformations and offering practical frameworks for building AI-ready data foundations.

The session then moved in peer-led roundtables where regional CDOs exchanged advice on navigating cloud migration, breaking down legacy data silos, and demonstrating concrete business impact to board members.

Operationalizing AI: Unlocking Scalable Enterprise Workflows

As organizations across the Middle East and Europe accelerate their AI ambitions, a central objective across all tpo33 gatherings is helping decision-makers navigate the transition from pilot projects to production-ready automation.

In these focused sessions, leaders explore the practical realities of operationalizing AI: from building governance frameworks that balance regulatory compliance with innovation, to orchestrating end-to-end intelligent workflows. By diving into practical strategies for risk mitigation and scaling autonomous systems, the forum provides delegates with actionable frameworks to mature enterprise AI capabilities and prepare for a future where human-machine collaboration is the operational norm.
