Join Siemens and Reuters for an intimate, invitation-only dinner at one of the most vibrant restaurants in the city (Zuma) during Climate Week NYC. This dinner reception aims to bring together the world’s most influential business leaders to tackle the climate crisis with clarity, speed, and scale. Set against the backdrop of one of the most pivotal weeks in the global climate calendar, this exclusive gathering will reveal some of the initial headline findings from new proprietary research by Reuters and Siemens on the deployment of Industrial AI across industry.
Guests will discuss how AI is accelerating decarbonization, enabling new business models, and reshaping infrastructure resilience. With curated insights, fine dining, and strategic networking, this is a rare opportunity to connect with peers driving transformation at the intersection of technology, sustainability, and industry.
• Guests arrive and are welcomed with light refreshments.
• Opening address from Eva Riesenhuber and presentation of this year’s industrial AI study from Liam Stoker, Head of Market Insights at Reuters Professional, which explores how organizations are integrating the technology, the benefits they are realizing and the steps that remain to establishing industrial AI as BAU operationally.
6:30 PM – 7:15 PM - Roundtable Discussion I: Bridging the Gap – Moving Industrial AI to Business as Usual

8:30 PM – 9:15 PM - Roundtable Discussion II: Clearing the Path to Progress – Removing Barriers to Scale
Food for thought: What’s really holding back scale and how do we unlock the full sustainability potential of Industrial AI? Delve deeper into this subject by attending the second roundtable (details below).
Clearing the Path to Progress – Removing Barriers to Scale
• Overcoming blockers: Examine the most persistent challenges to scaling Industrial AI and their impact on operational performance and strategic momentum
