Opening talk

Three senior leaders setting the stage for a day of insight and impact

Jan Ronsse - Oracle BeLux Dirk Deroost - De Cronos Groep

Jan and Dirk reflected on the evolutions of recent years, with a clear focus on AI. In their own words: "In 32 years, we have never seen investments like today in AI." They raised a central question: how does Belgium respond, and how do we build on this momentum?

Evelyne Dhaenens - De Cronos Groep

Evelyne took the audience through 25 years of Oracle expertise within the Cronos Groep. A journey marked by continuous growth, deep technical knowledge and a long-standing partnership that continues to shape how organisations leverage Oracle today.

The keynotes

Two inspiring talks that set the tone for the AI-driven enterprise of tomorrow.

AI in 2026: from hype to impact

How to make AI work for your business

Michiel and Tom from Raccoons delivered a compelling AI story, tracing the evolution from large language models to generative AI and today's shift towards agentic AI. The emphasis lies on reasoning and independent thinking, with AI as a digital assistant that enhances human productivity.

They demonstrated how AI can be applied today as a practical tool: from brainstorming and planning to actively co-developing projects. This concept was brought to life through a live, interactive demo in which AI acted autonomously in a real-world setting.

Regis Louis

AI changes everything

Regis Louis closed the morning with a clear and central statement: "AI changes everything." He reinforced this with a concrete, real-world example.

The shift is here, and it is now up to us to act on it. He illustrated this with applications in the medical sector, where AI is used to rapidly and efficiently detect bacteria and viruses after a blood sample. By linking results to vast datasets, diagnoses can be made faster and with greater accuracy.
