A unique session for private equity and portfolio company professionals
Tuesday, 28 April 2026 – Zaventem, BE
From digital & AI ambition to measurable EBITDA impact
How private equity firms unlock portfolio value through data, AI and Hyperautomation.
For private equity firms, technologies such as AI, data platforms, automation, smart applications and cloud offer significant opportunities to improve efficiency and unlock growth.
In practice, however, private equity firms often receive fragmented advice on isolated technologies or initiatives, with limited connection to the broader value creation agenda.
What is missing is a coherent, business-wide perspective, supported by partners who connect strategy and execution to deliver measurable business impact.
In this session, LDS Advisory and AE bring this perspective together and will show how private equity firms and their portfolio companies can approach digital transformation strategically across the entire investment lifecycle, from due diligence to exit.
Through practical insights and real-world cases, we will demonstrate how AI and hyperautomation can act as a structured value creation lever, driving measurable impact.
