AI Infrastructure for Financial Services
From Vision to Implementation
Über Netcloud
As long as a model makes suggestions, it is a tool. But once it triggers processes, moves data and prepares decisions, it becomes part of your operations. From that moment on, the same questions apply as with any other system in your organisation: What does it run on? Who is accountable for it? And how can you prove that it is reliable?
The answers to these questions do not come from the model itself, but from the foundation beneath it: the infrastructure, the way data is managed, and the control you have over both.
On 5 November, we will take a closer look at that foundation. You will gain a realistic view of what operating AI in production requires in terms of compute power and cost, and how those requirements change once agents begin to act autonomously. You will also hear from a bank that has built its own sovereign AI infrastructure: what worked, what held up, and what did not.
Finally, we will shift perspective. Because even with the strongest foundation, one question remains: how do you know that you can trust a system? The answer comes from someone whose profession depends on answering exactly that question, in a market where authenticity can determine millions in value.
The event will take place at Löwenbräukunst, Zurich’s centre for contemporary art and one of Switzerland’s leading addresses for contemporary art.

Tokens are the new unit of financial productivity. This session covers the economics of AI inference, the rise of AI factories as core banking infrastructure, and how financial foundation models turn proprietary data into durable competitive advantage - securely and sovereignly.

Red Hat, Dr. Richard Harmo
3:30 pm.
The financial sector is rapidly shifting from early generative AI experimentation to deploying scalable, regulated solutions that drive tangible operational value. In this session, Dr. Richard Harmon explores the frontier of Agentic AI and World Models—advanced technologies that move beyond basic chat interfaces to actively execute complex workflows, simulate market dynamics using diffusion models, and master predictive causality. To harness and scale these powerful innovations safely, Richard introduces the critical framework of "Engineered Trust," detailing how institutions can achieve true operational resilience by rigorously governing platform, model, and outcome integrity.
