„In 2026, the challenge is no longer to run AI pilots, but to operationalize AI responsibly and at scale. That requires the right foundations: governance, data quality, and clear accountability. Big Data & AI World Frankfurt is a timely forum to compare approaches and learn what works in practice.“ – Dr. Carsten Bange, Founder and CEO, BARC
