Aviation Roundtable - April 9, 2026
How do you actually bring data & AI initiatives into production?
Round Table Aviation
Within aviation, data & AI are high on the agenda. The challenge is shifting from experimentation to structural implementation.
How do you ensure that initiatives actually land in operations and create lasting value?
During this roundtable, we will share practical experience and discuss what is needed organizationally, administratively and technologically to make that move.
What makes this session valuable?
- Practical experience from long-term cooperation within aviation
- Understanding choices around IT/OT, governance and scaling up
- Open exchange with industry peers
- No pitches, but substantive conversation
Data & AI structurally in production
Data Science Lab has now been working intensively with Fokker Services Group for more than seven years to operationalize and scale up data initiatives.
During this session, we will share how this collaboration has led to structural anchoring in processes and decision making, including the choices and trade-offs that shaped it.
From Fokker, Frank Wehnes (Head of Digital Innovation), among others, will be present to share the perspective from the organization.

FAQs
Brief explanation of the most frequently asked questions surrounding the AI workshop for municipalities.
Who is the workshop for?
The workshop is designed for administrators, policy advisors, information managers, program managers and privacy or IT managers within municipalities. We bring together governance, policy and implementation so that everyone speaks the same language about the deployment of AI and data.
How long will the workshop last?
The standard version takes one half-day session (about 3 hours).For municipalities that want to go deeper into specific topics such as the AI Act, data governance or ethics, we also offer an in-depth day version.
What does the workshop cost?
The investment is €2,999 excluding VAT.
This includes preparation, materials and a concise action plan with recommendations and follow-up steps. If you start a follow-up trajectory with DSL within 3 months, we will settle part of this amount.
Can the workshop be adapted to our organization?
Yes, always. Each municipality has a different focus, from social domain to spatial planning or information management. We tailor the content to your priorities and can bring current projects or policy questions into the session.
Specifically, what does the workshop deliver?
Upon completion, you will have a clear plan of action, concrete priorities and a shared view of how to use AI responsibly and practically within the municipal context.
