Frost & sullivan Webinar 

We are pleased to highlight an upcoming webinar hosted by Frost and Sullivan that brings together leading industrial practitioners (including Momenta Prinicipal Partner Miroslav Kriz)  to discuss what it takes to move AI from pilot success to production reality.

 

Industrial AI investment has surged, yet most organizations remain stuck in the same place: strong pilots, limited deployment, and little enterprise scale impact.

In today’s industrial landscape, the challenge is no longer in proving that AI works, but in making it work at scale.

 

A timely Conversation for the Momenta Community

Over the past decade, industrial companies have invested heavily in AI platforms, pilots, and proofs of concept. But scaling remains rare.
Across the market, the pattern is clear:


AI does not fail because the models are weak:
AI fails because the ecosystem cannot support deployment
The bottleneck sits at the intersection of integration complexity, ecosystem alignment, and organizational readiness.


This discussion focuses on the structural blockers that must be addressed for real deployment to happen.


For founders, operators, and strategy leaders, this is essential context.

What You Will Learn

This session is designed for operators and transformation leaders responsible for scaling AI in real industrial environments. Topics include:

  • How OEMs, system integrators, and enterprise teams can better align around deployment goals

  • How to manage integration across OT and IT environments

  • Governance, risk, and ROI frameworks that support scaling

  • Where the strongest new opportunities are emerging as industrial ecosystems mature

 

Meet the Speakers

 

“Industrial AI’s biggest challenge is not the model. It is the ecosystem.”

- Karthik Sundaram, Research Director, Frost & Sullivan

 

At Momenta, we work closely with founders and industrial leaders who operate in complex, real-world environments. Moving from pilot to production requires more than technical excellence. It depends on integration pathways, partner readiness, and organizational commitment.


This webinar offers a practical lens on those dynamics, grounded in operator experience and market research. It should be valuable for anyone navigating the transition from experimentation to scaled impact.

 

Join the Conversation

If you are focused on scaling industrial AI beyond pilots, this session is worth joining.
