Presentation of the workshop

The CIO’s role is expanding from that of a technology steward to a driver of strategic transformation across the entire organization. Amid digital sovereignty, governance of agent-based AI, and new responsibilities introduced by NIS2 and DORA—along with a push toward Zero Trust—the IT function is called upon to rethink architectures, skills, and spending models from an AI-first perspective. The “ workshop ” explores how to combine innovation, resilience, cybersecurity, and regulatory compliance without losing sight of the organizational impacts and the new skills required of IT personnel and structures.

Topics covered:

  • Designing and Managing Agent-Based AI: Architectures, Orchestration, and New Operational Models
  • Digital Sovereignty and Multi-Cloud Strategies: Exit Strategies, Geo-Sourcing, Technological Resilience, Interoperability, and Compliance with the European Regulatory Framework (AI Act, DORA, NIS2)
  • Risks of State-of-the-Art AI Models and Cybersecurity: Agentic SOC and AI-Based Vendor Management Strategies
  • FinOps and IT/Cloud/AI Spend Optimization: Financial Governance of Digital Transformation
  • IT Skills from an AI-First Perspective and Organizational Impacts: Reskilling, Upskilling, and Production Capacity Management
