Artificial Intelligence is reshaping financial services at every level. Banks, fintech companies, insurers, and regulated institutions are rapidly integrating AI into decision-making, customer experience, and operational processes. As adoption accelerates, one theme is rising to the top of every executive agenda: AI governance and data sovereignty.



This is why next week Kosmoy is heading to Paris for Adopt AI – Grand Palais, one of Europe’s most influential events dedicated to the future of applied AI. We will be present both on stage and on the exhibition floor, joining global leaders to discuss how organizations can deploy AI that is secure, auditable, and fully aligned with regulatory expectations.


A Key Panel on AI & Data Sovereignty Strategy

The highlight of our participation will take place on November 26, from 12:25 PM to 12:45 PM (Mainstage South), during the panel:

AI & Data Sovereignty Strategy: Leveraging Data for Performance in Financial Services

Our CEO, Umberto Malesci, will take the stage alongside:

  • Claire Calméjane (Foundever)

  • Kris Wulteputte (bunq)

  • Ben Richardson (CoreWeave)



The discussion will focus on how financial institutions can adopt AI responsibly while maintaining full control over sensitive data, managing regulatory exposure, and enabling transparent, scalable innovation.


Why Data Sovereignty Is Now a Strategic Priority

In the last two years, AI adoption in financial services has grown exponentially. At the same time, regulatory pressure has intensified across jurisdictions. Institutions face new requirements around data location, access controls, traceability, and model accountability.

The panel will explore several core challenges facing the sector:

  • ensuring data remains under strict governance, even when using external models or hybrid infrastructures

  • preventing the rise of Shadow AI through centralized policies and controlled access

  • achieving end-to-end traceability for every AI interaction, making audits faster and more reliable

  • maintaining flexibility across vendors to avoid model lock-in

  • aligning AI performance with financial, operational, and compliance KPIs

Kosmoy’s contribution will focus on the practical reality of implementing secure AI systems at scale—how to govern, enforce, and monitor AI activity from a single, audit-ready platform.


Meet Us at Booth F9

Kosmoy will also be present throughout the event at booth F9, where our team will showcase how organizations can:

  • enforce governance and security guardrails

  • centralize policy at the AI gateway

  • route workloads intelligently across models and vendors

  • control and predict AI spending

  • ensure data sovereignty across complex environments

  • accelerate approval processes with complete traceability


For companies evaluating how to move AI from experimentation to production while maintaining compliance, this is an opportunity to see how Kosmoy simplifies the entire lifecycle.


If you’d like to schedule a dedicated conversation, send us a direct message and we’ll reserve a time during the event.


Why Adopt AI Matters

Adopt AI – Grand Palais is more than an industry event. It is a gathering of decision makers and innovators shaping the next decade of AI adoption in Europe. Organizations attending are redefining how AI contributes to business performance while respecting regulatory frameworks like ISO/IEC 42001, DORA, GDPR, and sector-specific supervisory guidelines.


Kosmoy’s presence reflects our mission: help enterprises deploy AI that is observable, governable, and fully trusted. As financial services move toward deeper AI integration, platforms that guarantee transparency, control, and data protection are no longer optional—they are foundational.


We look forward to contributing to this conversation and meeting companies that are ready to turn responsible AI into a competitive advantage.


See you in Paris.
