Three things are happening inside Danish top-100 enterprises at the same time. AI is being asked to deliver real outcomes, not pilots. The legacy application estate is absorbing most of the IT budget that AI was supposed to be funded from. Security, sovereignty and regulatory posture under NIS2, DORA and the EU AI Act sit on top of both. Most vendor conversations treat these as three separate workstreams. They are one problem.

This invitation-only lunch in Copenhagen brought eight to twelve CIO, CISO, CTO, Chief Digital Officer and Chief Data Officer peers from the Denmark top 100 around one table to work through how the three fit together in practice. What gets modernized first and why. What “production AI” actually means when the CISO and the DPO both have to sign off. Where AWS Landing Zones, platform engineering and security architecture stop being technical decisions and start being commercial ones.

Peer-led, off-the-record, product-light. No demos, no decks, no pitches. Cloud2 hosts. An AWS Security Specialist sat at the table to challenge and contribute.
