Ivan Ortenzi | Turning AI Potential into Real Innovation | Milan Longevity Summit 2026

*AI is everywhere in innovation strategies. But how do organisations move from experimenting with it to actually creating value?* In this talk from *AI in Practice: Decision-Making, Prediction and the One Health Promise* at the Milan Longevity Summit 2026, *Ivan Ortenzi*, Chief Innovation Evangelist at BIP, explores what it takes to translate the extraordinary momentum around artificial intelligence into meaningful organisational change. New AI tools are evolving at remarkable speed, but adopting technology and transforming an organisation are two very different things. Real innovation requires companies to understand where AI can create value, redesign processes around new capabilities, develop the right skills, rethink decision-making, and create cultures capable of experimenting and adapting. Ortenzi brings the conversation from technological possibility into the realities of implementation: how organisations can approach AI strategically rather than simply following the latest technology cycle. The challenge is not only choosing the right tools. It is understanding *which problems are worth solving, where human and artificial intelligence should work together, and how innovation can become embedded in the way organisations operate.* *Ivan Ortenzi* is Chief Innovation Evangelist at *BIP*, working on innovation, technology, and organisational transformation. Ultimately, AI will not transform organisations simply because the technology exists. *Transformation happens when technological capability is connected to strategy, people, processes, and a clear understanding of the value we want to create.* #MilanLongevitySummit #IvanOrtenzi #ArtificialIntelligence #Innovation #DigitalTransformation #FutureOfBusiness #Technology #AITransformation #Vitality #FutureOfAI
