The AI Hype is Over—Now the AI Business Begins

After a first round of headline-grabbing failures in AI deployment, how do you build resilient, profitable businesses around AI? This session explores where real margins are emerging, when it makes sense to use AI as an entry point for your other offerings, which AI services customers will actually pay for, and what separates sustainable AI business models from expensive experiments. Can—or even should—you even try to pursue AI as a profit center? And if chasing AI for margins is a folly, what’s the best way to deploy it so it works for you?

Sovereignty Starts at the Hardware Layer

Digital sovereignty is no longer just a European policy conversation. As governments, enterprises, and even U.S. states increasingly impose infrastructure, data residency, procurement, and AI governance requirements, providers are being forced to think operationally about where hardware lives, who controls it, how workloads move, and which customers require differentiated infrastructure strategies. Will you be a passenger, or can you grab the steering wheel?

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Das Cloudfest wächst von Jahr zu Jahr und macht einfach Spaß. Ich bin seit über 10 Jahren als Besucher dabei. Tolle Menschen, viel Energie und vor allem auch Zeit für spannende Gespräche in den Hallen (und Achterbahnen).

Event ist allerdings wirklich für die IT-Branche (Domains/Hosting/Cloud) ausgerichtet. Als aktiver Teilnehmer der Branche gibt es über Einladung von Messepartnern immer die Möglichkeit kostenfreier Tickets. Was die Veranstalter verhindern wollen sind Menschen, die nur zum Achterbahnfahren kommen - daher kann es zu Stornierungen kommen mit MyDealz-Codes und ähnlichem.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cloudfest is a really very successful event. Not only does it take place in Europa Park, but one of the highlights is of course that the park and some attractions are open exclusively for event visitors. But the whole framework of the Cloudfest is simply harmonious. You can exchange ideas with various software and hardware manufacturers in the booth and take away lots of useful ideas and input for future trends from the speaker slots on the individual stages. I'm already looking forward to being there again next year.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I traveled a long way to get to Cloudfest, which was definitely worth the 12 hour trip from Tbilisi, Georgia! Everything was amazingly planned and organized and I hope we will see more and more quality in the coming years. Cheers Cloudfest!
