Backwell Tech at WAICF 2026: AI That Creates Value, Not Just Predictions
We're wrapping up an incredible couple of days at WAICF, the World AI Cannes Festival, in Cannes, France, where the global AI community came together to explore how artificial intelligence is driving real business transformation.
A Global Stage for AI Innovation
WAICF is where AI change-makers meet industry leaders. This year's edition brought together more than 10,000 attendees, 320 speakers, and 250 exhibitors, all sharing insights on cutting-edge AI applications, governance, and strategic innovation. Few events bring that breadth of perspective into one room, spanning research, enterprise deployment, and policy in the same conversation.
From Governance to Autonomous Systems: What We Heard
Across the sessions, we heard firsthand from pioneers shaping the future of AI, covering ground from governance and explainability to autonomous systems and business-scale deployments. It's a set of themes that lines up closely with how we think about AI at Backwell Tech: systems that are not just powerful, but transparent enough for the people relying on them to actually trust the output.
Continuing the Conversation
We're keen to keep the conversation going at Backwell Tech, continuing to empower business leaders during their decision-making. Thank you to everyone we connected with in Cannes. Your vision, and your challenges, sharpen our focus on delivering AI that doesn't just predict the future, it creates value from it.
