Smarter Data Integration with AI and Knowledge Graphs

Tech Day

Organizations today manage vast amounts of data, often locked in silos and difficult to connect. At the same time, expectations for data-driven processes, automation, and informed decision-making continue to rise. AI techniques and knowledge graphs offer a new approach: they make data understandable, linkable, and usable across systems.

The goal of the Tech Day is to provide a practical introduction to integrating heterogeneous data sources from automated data discovery to semantic modelling and AI-supported knowledge linking. Participants will learn how knowledge graphs serve as an intelligent backbone for data products, analytics, and GenAI applications.

Content includes short talks, hands-on demos, and best-practice insights from real projects. We will show how AI models support the creation and maintenance of knowledge graphs, improving data quality, discoverability, and reusability.

Benefit: You will gain concrete strategies to accelerate data integration, reduce complexity, and unlock sustainable value from your data. This Tech Day targets everyone looking to build modern data architectures and advance the meaningful use of AI in their organization.
