AI in Action Event Dublin

From AI Experimentation to Real-World Impact

Featuring Joakim Wahlqvist, the session provided practical, real-world insights into how organisations are implementing and scaling AI across industries.

A key focus of the event was one of the most pressing challenges organisations face today: how to move AI from proof of concept into full-scale production.

Joakim shared perspectives on how leading organisations are successfully scaling AI by aligning technology initiatives with clear business outcomes. The discussion emphasised the importance of adopting a structured, value-driven approach that ensures AI delivers measurable and sustainable impact.

• Data as a foundation: High-quality, well-integrated data remains critical to unlocking the full value of AI.

• Cloud enablement with Microsoft Azure: Cloud platforms such as Microsoft Azure play a key role in enabling scalable, secure and high-performing AI solutions.
• AI Adoption and change management: Successful AI implementation depends on cross-functional collaboration, cultural alignment, and continious value realisation.
