The AI story is shifting. Companies are moving past experimentation into a phase where AI actively shapes how organisations allocate capital, develop products, manage risk, and structure their operations.
The focus is turning from adopting tools to rethinking the fundamentals of how a business runs — how it gains efficiency, accelerates output, and creates value in an AI-driven environment.
Digitalk is where these changes come into focus, giving leaders the clarity and direction they need to build and compete in 2026.

I'm a European tech observer who founded the region's premier information portal and market intelligence platform, Tech.eu, and currently the founder and managing director of Profoundo, a strategic communications advisory firm for fast-growth tech scale-ups and investors. I'm on a mission to boost the competitiveness of the European technology, startup and investment ecosystems in Europe, and I'd love to have a conversation with you if that aligns with yours. I regularly travel for conferences, to present data on the European tech scene, moderate panels or interview executives, investors and policymakers. Get in touch if you would like to discuss. I am also part of the founding team behind BeCentral, the digital campus located in Brussels Central Station that has helped thousands of people learn technologies, grow a startup and have a positive impact on society. With the Syndicate One seed investment group, I also try to help ambitious Belgian early-stage tech companies realise their visions.
