Building with AI: Solving real problems and growing as a Female Founder

AI is powerful - but real impact happens when it’s used to solve meaningful problems, guided and framed by human judgment and ethical responsibility.

In this session, Nadine Ebmeyer, CEO of BANQR, shares her experience building digital finance solutions for SMEs and corporates and working at the intersection of product, strategy, and leadership. She will explore how AI can support smarter workflows, better decision-making, and scalable systems - while staying aligned with European regulatory realities and human-centric values.

Participants will gain a practical perspective on how female founders and digital professionals can expand their portfolio by combining powerful AI tools with strategic thinking, ethical awareness, and mentorship-driven leadership. This is not a “future of AI” vision talk, it’s about real challenges, risks and opportunities that work in the real world today.
