Keynote at Bayern Innovativ: Prof. Yvonne Hofstetter – CEO and Co-founder of a BAVARIAN FinTech
How can Artificial Intelligence be applied and used profitably in medium-sized businesses? What requirements should be met? As CEO and co-founder of 21strategies, Prof. Yvonne Hofstetter is an expert in the field of rolling out and operating AI-based control systems for corporates. She founded a FinTech that uses AI technology to optimally hedge financial market risks such as currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. As such, she is remarkably familiar with the actual issues that companies face when using AI systems. She deals with the questions associated with the implementation of AI applications daily. According to Prof. Yvonne Hofstetter, it is not only important to recognize the opportunities in the business environment. It is also important to what extent a company is ready for deployment. After all, AI-based control systems are more than "classical" software as known from earlier decades. Deploying AI control is a strategic decision that usually brings disruptive effects. Companies should be aware of integrating the AI system into the company's processes usually requires business process changes. Another question that companies should consider is the extent to which they want to hand over decision-making authority to an AI system. How much trust do they place in the technology in daily routine? Can an AI system be reconciled with the company's philosophy? Ultimately, AI-based control systems are a strategic decision in operational practice.
21strategies - an AI system for hedging financial market risks
As a FinTech, 21strategies develops and operates AI technology to optimally hedge financial market risks such as currency, interest rate and commodity price risks. In this way, the AI system contributes to the financial resilience of companies. The flagship product hedge21 is an algorithmic AI decision-making support system for CFOs and treasurers. 21strategies' technology thus makes an important contribution to the medium- and long-term strategic hedging of financial market risks and corporate strategy.
