TechEx Europe Amsterdam returned this week, offering two inspiring days filled with energy, ideas, and connections. From the moment the halls opened, the event atmosphere reflected innovation and collaboration. Day 1 focused on strategy and execution. In Digital Transformation, Heineken’s Gabriela Cadenas shared how the brewer is creating a global digital backbone to become a “best-connected” company. Leaders from Schneider Electric, ABN AMRO, Henkel, and Uber discussed their transformation successes and setbacks, highlighting the importance of culture, governance, and measurable impact.
Connecting on the Show Floor
Throughout the event, our European Lead, Alex Smit, met with new acquaintances and long-standing partners. His conversations reflected TechEx Europe’s spirit: reconnecting with peers, sparking collaborations, and turning bold ideas into action. Beyond the sessions, the networking reception at the end of Day 1 and the closing talks on Day 2 fostered strong partnerships and laid the groundwork for future initiatives.
Technology Tracks and Exhibitions
AI and Big Data sessions showed how enterprises can scale responsibly. Data Centre experts highlighted sustainability, energy efficiency, and AI-driven infrastructure.
Cyber Security and IoT discussions covered hybrid cloud security, digital twins, and edge connectivity. Across the halls, more than 200 exhibitors presented cutting-edge solutions, creating opportunities for discovery and meaningful connections.
Day 2: Human-Centered and Future-Focused
Momentum continued on Day 2 with a shift to human-centered transformation and the future of enterprise AI. Sessions explored ethical and cultural dimensions of change, as well as the operational realities of deploying machine learning at scale. Data Centre leaders debated hyperscale expansion, edge deployment, and resilience. Security experts addressed hybrid cloud, threat detection, and evolving models of digital trust.
Innovation Across Domains
What makes TechEx Europe unique is the ability to explore AI, Cyber Security, IoT, and Data Centres together, enabling cross-pollination of ideas that drive innovation. As the final booths closed, one thing stood out: TechEx Europe is more than an event. It is a platform where strategies are challenged, visions are shaped, and the digital future is built one conversation at a time.
