12:00 PM KEYNOTE: Agentic Innovation: How Enterprise Can Scale the Use of Agents and Build Foundations to Suit Individual Business Needs

A recent survey of over 500 technology leaders revealed that 48% are already adopting or fully implementing Agentic AI – and investment is rapidly accelerating. Yet amid the excitement and momentum, it’s easy to overlook a critical factor:  ensuring your Agentic AI strategy is thoughtfully designed to address your organisations challenges. 

In this session, we’ll explore how enterprise can lay tailored foundations to scale Agentic AI effectively. From architecture design to change management, we’ll unpack the practical steps needed to embed autonomous agents into real-world operations – while staying flexible enough to meet business needs. 

Topics covered will include: 

  • The agents Lens: business v tech priorities 
  • Building agentic corporate foundational layers 
  • How to determine whether your business needs agentic point solutions v agentic general solutions
