At Digitalize and Automate 2025, Matrix42 showcased significant advancements in AI and SaaS management, raising the bar for enterprise service management. The event, held at the Zoogesellschaftshaus in Frankfurt am Main, brought together over 2,300 attendees, including customers, partners, and industry experts, with a focus on innovation and delivering real insights.
Industry visionaries took the stage, offering insights and new perspectives to the audience: Forrester’s Charles Betz and Professor Dr. Holger Schmidt, shaped discussions around the intelligent future of IT and the world's economy. Betz advocated for shifting away from legacy frameworks to an “intelligent IT knowledge graph”—emphasizing that quality data and modern architecture are critical for AI’s success. His guidance: integrate feedback loops and align AI initiatives with strategic IT goals.
Professor Schmidt’s keynote placed how AI transforms work at the center. In addition, he shared recent research on the current technology landscape with a clear message: Europe must reclaim its digital sovereignty. Today, 86% of relevant software platforms originate in the U.S., 11% in Asia — and only 2% in Europe. In parallel, 61% of regional organizations seeking local cloud solutions to ensure data sovereignty.
In the morning of October 1, 20205, Matrix42 CEO Niilo Fredrikson opened the event with a keynote, emphasizing the strategic importance of balancing data sovereignty, compliance, and innovation. He underscored how Matrix42's European-made software helps organizations on our continent accelerate their digital transformation with robust alternatives to non-European vendors. Matrix42’s European focus positions it to meet these demands by offering with trusted AI-driven platforms that naturally comply with not only European regulations but also values. Matrix42 plays a role in shifting the technology imbalance, not just through technology, but also by championing European values to strengthen customers' data privacy, security, and accelerate their digital transformation with responsible innovation.
This commitment to European excellence is further exemplified by our innovation, which seamlessly aligns with our approach by providing cutting-edge, secure, and regulation-compliant solutions tailored to the unique needs of the European market.
