Tuesday, 20 January 2026 | Davos, Switzerland — Aleria convened an executive panel at IHC House titled Beyond the Hype: Delivering the AI Intelligence Factory.
The panel featured Eric Leandri, CEO of Aleria, Marc Domenech, Senior Regional Director Enterprise at NVIDIA, and Paul Bloch, President and Co-Founder of DDN. Moderated by McKinsey & Company.
The dialogue focused on a core challenge: while AI investment accelerates, many initiatives remain confined to pilots. The gap between ambition and production remains significant.
The Intelligence Factory framework addresses this gap by positioning AI as infrastructure rather than application — requiring tightly integrated compute, data architecture, orchestration, and governance.
From an infrastructure perspective, high-density compute environments, advanced cooling, data throughput, and operational resilience are now foundational requirements.
Aleria's perspective centred on execution and control. Delivering AI at scale requires sovereign architecture that allows governments and enterprises to retain jurisdiction over data and long-term deployment.
The next phase of AI adoption will be defined by disciplined execution rather than experimentation.
For Aleria, delivering the AI Intelligence Factory means moving beyond hype and into production reality.
