Rewiring the Web: Data Access, AI Agents & the Next Digital Revolution | RAISE Summit 2026
Juras Juršėnas, Fred de Villamil, Chet Haase, Romain Guyett, Francois Chollette, Francisco Neri, Gérald
The event analyzes how the AI era has intensified the demand for live web data while rendering traditional scraping techniques obsolete due to sophisticated anti-bot defenses and shifting regulatory landscapes. It highlights critical economic tensions between content publishers and AI developers, arguing that the current ad-revenue model is threatened by AI aggregators that bypass source websites without compensation. Strategic recommendations focus on transitioning web infrastructure to be optimized for AI agents and establishing new frameworks for data monetization to ensure sustainable value distribution in the emerging agentic commerce ecosystem.

Private Credit Cashing In | Milken Institute Global Conference 2024
Liz Hoffman, Dianna Carr-Coletta, David Geenberg, Theodore L. Koenig, Danielle Poli, James Reynolds, Ted, Francois Chollette
Private credit assets have expanded to an estimated $1.5 trillion through a 20% CAGR since the financial crisis, driven by institutional reallocations from 1-2% to 15% and expanding participation from retail investors. While competition intensifies among originators targeting the lower-middle market and specialized sectors like life sciences, the sector differentiates itself through superior recovery rates via maintenance covenants and a strategic pivot toward capital protection rather than yield maximization. Looking forward, the industry faces liquidity and regulatory headwinds but expects to sustain 10-11% unlevered returns by diversifying into asset-backed finance and addressing distressed capital structures created by the current M&A slowdown.

AI Unleashed : Navigating the Future with Next Gen Applications | RAISE Summit 2024 | Paris
Tamara Brisk, Nicolas Guillon, Sixt, Jean-Paul, Francois Chollette, Arthur Kleinmann
At the RAISE Summit's "AI Unleashed" panel, industry leaders from Animage, X-Plane, and L'Oréal detailed the critical transition from generic generative AI tools to specialized, agentic applications capable of handling high-stakes industrial workflows. The discussion highlighted that while early models struggle with niche data and latency, second-generation systems must leverage proprietary datasets and human-in-the-loop verification to automate complex tasks such as public tender responses and personalized beauty diagnostics. Participants concluded that successful commercial adoption requires overcoming significant barriers including production costs, hallucination management, and workforce cultural resistance to redefine media creation and corporate efficiency.
