10:30 AM Keynote Presentation: Sovereign Data & AI in Financial Services: Architecting Governance, Compliance, and Control Across Hybrid Cloud

Many financial institutions are still operating across deeply fragmented data architectures, shaped by years of legacy investment, regulatory change and platform sprawl. While modernisation is a priority, the reality is that most organisations must evolve within complex hybrid environments rather than starting from scratch. This session will explore how leading institutions are building more durable, future-ready data architectures without introducing additional risk. 

    • How you can standardise data across legacy and modern platforms while maintaining flexibility
    • Learn what roles data platforms and reusable assets play in simplifying complexity and accelerating analytics
    • How you can embed governance and control into evolving architectures without slowing down innovation
