This was NAICE
NAICE 2026 hosted by Alexander Thamm [at] brought together more than 500 participants from 9 countries and 157 companies and institutions in Munich to explore “The Real World of Agentic Business.”
With 16 speakers from industry, research, and the public sector, the conference focused on one key question: where can Agentic AI already create real business value today?
Instead of hype and abstract vision, NAICE highlighted practical experience, critical perspectives, and concrete use cases from leading organizations such as BMW, Siemens Energy, Deutsche Bahn, ALTANA, Sartorius, and the European Central Bank.
This video captures insights from one of southern Germany’s leading AI conferences and the growing conversation around real-world AI applications in business.
Thank you for the wonderful collaboration!
