Snowflake AI Innovation Event

April 09, 2026

Sogeti Ireland recently took part in the Snowflake AI Innovation Event, held on Wednesday, 11 March at the Royal Convention Centre, Dublin, alongside Kipi.ai, a specialist Snowflake partner.

As part of the Capgemini Group, Sogeti Ireland is the local point of contact for Kipi.ai in Ireland, working closely together to help organisations turn strong data foundations into scalable, real‑world AI outcomes.

Following Capgemini’s acquisition of WNS, Kipi.ai became part of the wider Capgemini ecosystem, bringing deep expertise in data engineering, analytics and artificial intelligence. This shared foundation enables Sogeti Ireland and Kipi.ai to collaborate seamlessly on data modernisation and AI programmes, with Sogeti Ireland leading client engagement and delivery across the Irish market.

Exploring the Future of Data & AI with Snowflake

The Snowflake AI Innovation Event focused on how organisations can unlock greater value from their data by bringing data engineering, analytics and AI together in a practical, secure way.

Across the day, speakers explored the rapidly evolving Data & AI landscape, with particular attention on Snowflake Cortex AI and Cortex Code. These capabilities allow AI to be embedded directly where the data lives, helping data teams and developers accelerate innovation while maintaining strong governance and security.

Practical Guidance from Data Readiness to AI at Scale

As event partners and sponsors, Sogeti Ireland and Kipi.ai contributed directly to the agenda.
Declan Coates, Director and Head of Portfolio at Sogeti Ireland, joined Garry Robertson, Head of FS&I for EMEA at Kipi.ai, to deliver the “Help to Get Started” session.

The session provided practical, experience‑led guidance on moving from data readiness to enterprise‑wide AI adoption. Topics included:

Building the right data foundations for AI

Key governance and security considerations

Scaling AI responsibly across the organisation

Turning analytics into measurable business value

The focus was on helping organisations move beyond experimentation and adopt AI in a way that delivers sustainable impact.
