Key Insights from the Stage

Claire Lebarz (Malt)

"The new corporate moat is Intelligence Liquidity—your capability to flow the right expertise into the right problem at the precise moment it's needed."

Marc Bussienne (LVMH)

"In luxury, technology must disappear behind the excellence of the experience. AI must act as an invisible layer that sublimates our core crafts."

Yann Bry (AXA)

"We are moving from isolated assistants to AI-enabled operating models where humans and autonomous agents work together as one controlled system."

Nicolas Debock (Eurazeo)

"Investors are looking for 'AI-efficient' companies that improve unit economics. Today, the most significant financial risk is the severe cost of inaction."

Arnaud Girard (Google Cloud)

"The real hurdle for autonomous agents isn't the model, it’s the Context Wall. Meaningful execution requires breaking down proprietary data silos."

Andrew Grill (Ai Futurist)

"Legacy processes are the silent enemy of AI transformation. Use AI-augmented independent talent to bridge the skills gap faster than traditional hiring."

Michelle Johnson (Consultant)

"Success is not defined by the sophistication of the model, but by how effectively AI is integrated into real, day-to-day business workflows."
