The great thing about going to conferences is that you never know whom you'll meet and to what other adventures that meeting leads you to. That's exactly what happened at #TheAISummit in London 12th June when Venkatesh Chandrasekar invited me to speak on behalf of DJEENI and tell how we see the future of work at Finance at Delft FinTech Summit 2024. Thank you Venkatesh Chandrasekar for the wonderful experience, the insightful conference and Roy Borghouts for the great pictures! #DelftFinTechSummit #FinTech #Innovation #AI

Thank you, Venkatesh Chandrasekar for inviting us at DJEENI to tell more about how we change the way Finance people work in the future! It was an insightful conference, with a good mix of professionals and people from academia.

Fantastic two days at TNW Conference in Amsterdam 20-21th June with wonderful encounters with participants, exhibitors, speakers and startup ecosystem enablers! There were many great contributions and I would like to highlight four inspiring talks that particularly touched me both personally and as a Founder. Adir Ron from Microsoft with "Stop Obsessing about AI Models: Understanding the AI Platform & Ecosystem Opportunity". Adir emphasized the importance of user adoption as opposed to building the n-th feature for a product. Watch his talk from 8:45. https://lnkd.in/e9Q8vGrv Speaker panel #FinanceDisrupted Wincie Wong, Nasir Zubairi and Carina Kozole on "Building the AI Workforce - Considering the Practical Applications and Risks to Finance". Nasir talked about lack of education on AI among employees, Carina brought up an example how AI helps fight financial crime at customer onboarding at banks and Wincie mentioned small-scale, lower-risk AI experiments and upskilling gaining in importance. Listen to the whole talk (36 mins) at https://lnkd.in/ebNchHaH Dennis van Kleef together with Albert Maas and Rahel de Vriend as moderator on the Growth Stage on "Robots Aren't Just Hype, They Can Give Super Powers to the Labor Force" on how robots and automation are helping to make the heavy work of baggage handlers at Schiphol easier, to avoid long-term health consequences of their job. Speaker panel Ingrid Tappin 🏳️🌈, Adrienne Marie E. , Job van der Voort and Hamed Sadeghian on "DEI as a Business Enabler: Normalizing Data-Driven DEI". The panel discussed the findings of the recently released DEI Benchmark report. Did you attend too? Share your insights!

It is a wrap! Together with Netherlands Enterprise Agency we organized a successful Startup mission to the AI-Summit in London from the 11th till the 13th of June. #TheAISummitLondon brings together the most forward-thinking technologists and business professionals in the UK, Europe, and beyond to explore the real-world applications of AI. It's a two-day conference, and all-round immersive experience, that celebrates this emerging and transformative technology. At The Summit the Netherlands powered the Garden that gave the 17 Dutch startups/scale-ups that participated in this mission the opportunity to broaden their horizons, make connections and take advantage of the dynamic UK market. It gave them the opportunity to uncover new business opportunities. The mission started on the 11th of June with a kick-off at the Embassy! Thanks to Sebastiaan Bruinsma, Tobias Rijken en Heleen van Poecke for taking part in the panel and sharing your experiences with the participants of growing a business here in the UK. On the 12th and 13th of June the delegation immersed themselves in all the AI-Summit had to offer and to present themselves and the Netherlands as an interesting partner for AI innovation. The mission gave a boost to more connections and partnerships for all the companies that took part in the mission. We hope to see you all back in the UK soon! We look back at a successful Startup mission and I like to thank everyone that participated in this mission!

The tools just keep coming 👇 It has been a while since I have updated you on all the different tools I have seen and conversations I have had so here goes. Nobie - I had the pleasure of talking to Matt Gapp the founder of Nobie. A new finance tool that is designed to allow you to work across spreadsheets and your data in a single platform. It was a pleasure seeing the demo of the tool and I liked how easy it works to stitch together your data from different sources. Kudwa - I had the pleasure of talking to Sam Arif the Co-founder of Kudwa. It is a tool focused on using Generative AI and tech to make life easier for startups and small businesses. They offer services and a software built around supporting small companies. The tool is designed to make it easier for fractional CFOs to support the samll companies. I loved how he was thinking about generative AI to help optimize and streamline messy finance tasks. DJEENI - Chatted with the founders of this excel based automation platform. Daria Huszar shared how the tool is designed to allow you to automate many routine tasks directly in Excel without using VBA. The premise is the automation tasks should be no-code and built int the tools you use everyday. SaaSWorks - I am excited to see what Vipul Shah and SaaSWorks are able to accomplish in the finance space. They are building a tool designed to managed all your revenue data. This tool would then integrate with other tools like your planning software. I think a tool purpose-built designed to be the integration layer is needed, and I am excited about what they are doing. Also excited about their AI based analyst they have created. Apokto - I had a great conversation with Forrest Hosten about the Generative AI-based finance tool they are building. What I love is they are not only using several LLM models they are also building their own finely tuned Small LLM models to ensure the tool is able to provide insights across all your financial data. Excited to watch them grow and scale. Rain Technologies Inc. - Chatted with Alexandre and Vanessa, the CO-founders of Pluvo, a new FP&A platform designed for the mid-market. It is always fun to talk with founders and see the different ways they strive to solve planning problems. Maxio - This is not a new tool, but had a great chat this week with the CEO Randy Wootton and one thing I found interesting was the insights he shared around billing for AI companies and how the needs are different than many existing customers. Will be fun to see the different ways billing companies evolve to solve this problem. Farseer - This is not a new tool, but I wanted to share that I interviewed Matija Nakic this week and she shared how their latest project resulted in a 2-4x improvement in their calculation engine performance while using less memory. Keep building. Let me know in the comments have you seen a tool lately that has you excited?

Agree, Wouter Born . Those hanging on to the above narrative and excuses will be left behind by those who understand the importance of Finance transformation. Those who realize week-long month-end-closes are outdated and in order to catch up with competition, more automation needs to be implemented.
