Last week marked the 2026 edition of the Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles, where Sia was once again proud to participate as both sponsor and attendee. Sia Founder & CEO Matthieu Courtecuisse joined Raj Ganguly, Lari Hamalainen, Molly Murphy, and Barbara Nash for a panel discussion on “The Business of AI: What Scales and What Doesn’t,” moderated by Jared Carney. As AI continues to transform the business world, software companies are being particularly impacted: • How can they reinvent themselves and prepare for what’s next, while R&D investments often remain too limited compared to the scale of the transformation ahead? • How will they address the strategic choice they now face: investing further in foundational models, or focusing on accelerating AI adoption and real-world integration?

Why are so many organizations struggling to realize value from their AI investments? It’s not technology. It’s how work gets done. Many companies have made progress toward becoming skills-based organizations, moving beyond rigid roles to better leverage talent. But skills alone don’t deliver outcomes. The real differentiator is workforce agility. Organizations that are unlocking AI ROI are able to: - Rapidly deploy the right skills to the right priorities - Form cross-functional teams without friction - Combine human expertise with AI in new ways - Scale from pilot to capability—fast Ultimately, value doesn’t come from skills in isolation. It comes from capabilities: where skills, technology, and processes come together to drive business outcomes. The shift is clear: Jobs → Skills → Capabilities → Workforce Agility The organizations that will lead aren’t just investing more in AI. They’re building the ability to continuously adapt how work gets done. The advantage won’t come from having the best technology. It will come from having the most agile workforce. #AI #WorkforceTransformation #FutureOfWork

We’re excited to contribute to the conversation at the upcoming SIFMA Ops Conference at the JW Marriott Marco Island, Florida. Join us on May 12th from 3:40 to 4:40 p.m. for our breakout session: “Reimagining Post-Trade Operations.” The SIFMA Ops Conference brings together leaders across capital markets to discuss key challenges and innovations in post-trade operations, technology, and regulatory transformation. The move to T+1 proved the industry can deliver large-scale change—but what comes next goes far beyond compression. With 24x5 trading, the potential for T+0, and the rise of digital assets, firms must transition from batch-based processes to continuous, always-on post-trade operations. Sia’s Simar Gill will moderate a panel with industry leaders exploring how firms can: - Shift to real-time, front-to-back data pipelines - Enable true STP and real-time exception management - Leverage AI to enhance resiliency and operational efficiency Featuring: - Bruno Gold, J.P. Morgan - Sanjay Prasad, Tata Consultancy Services Join us to explore how AI and modern operating models are enabling the future of post-trade infrastructure. #SIFMAOps #CapitalMarkets #DigitalAssets

The European rail sector is entering a new phase of transformation, driven by network modernisation, European harmonisation, and growing expectations around performance, sustainability, and safety. Facing economic, operational, regulatory, and environmental challenges, infrastructure managers must evolve their operating models while ensuring service continuity and the resilience of existing networks. Our experts conducted a study dedicated to rail infrastructure management in Europe, with two key objectives: - Better understanding the current transformation dynamics, - Identifying concrete levers to support long-term infrastructure modernisation. This analysis highlights: - The main structural challenges (financing, technical modernisation, workforce, environmental transition), - Ongoing organisational and technological evolutions, - The role of AI as a decision-support and performance-enhancing tool, integrated within a broader approach.

The business environment today is facing consistent disruption, causing companies to rethink and constantly adapt. However, strategies don’t fail due to lack of ambition; they fail when they cannot withstand changing realities. We examine the limitations of traditional approaches which often focus on recovery and continuity. To optimise that, we introduce a structured approach to resilience by design. By combining strategic foresight, stress testing, fragility analysis, and resilience architecture, organisations can move from static plans to dynamic strategies that are durable in the long run. The result: stronger execution, faster adaptation, and the ability to turn disruption into strategic advantage. Learn more below. #Resilience #Strategy #Disruption

Investment platforms are no longer competing on features alone.   For banks and brokers, the challenge is clear: how do you strike the right balance between user experience, cost efficiency, and investment capabilities?   Our 5th edition Global Investment Applications Benchmark, covering 75+ platforms, highlights a decisive shift. Leading players are bringing together seamless, intuitive journeys with robust functionality and competitive pricing, while others fall behind by optimising in silos.   The gap is no longer about offering investing. It’s about how effectively you deliver it.   At Sia, we support financial institutions in understanding where they stand and identifying the strategic levers needed to strengthen their position in an increasingly competitive landscape.   Want to explore what this means for your platform?

AI is moving fast—but not everything scales.   On May 5, at the Milken Institute Global Conference, Matthieu Courtecuisse, CEO of Sia, will join the panel “The Business of AI: What Scales and What Doesn’t,” alongside Raj Ganguly, Lari Hämäläinen, Molly Murphy, and Barbara Nash, moderated by Jared Carney.   As thousands of AI startups compete for attention, the conversation is shifting—from what’s technically possible to what’s commercially sustainable.   This panel will explore how investors and enterprises evaluate AI at scale: • Which software platforms, enterprise applications, vertical SaaS, and developer tools can truly monetize AI capabilities • What differentiates durable business models from infrastructure-dependent “wrappers” • Where value really accrues: proprietary data, distribution advantages, or switching costs • How enterprise adoption patterns, time-to-value, and ROI measurement shape traction—and separate scalable solutions from science projects   In a crowded innovation landscape, understanding what drives long-term value creation has never been more critical.   The session will be broadcast live. More details and the link to the broadcast are in the comments.   #AI #MIGlobal #MilkenInstitute
