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.
