Danish Rafique, Global Head of Digital & Data Strategy, Bayer

"It was great to meet the peers from other companies to discuss the challenges we all encounter in our daily work. To hear the experts giving their perspectives during the panels helped me in understanding where we all stand in terms of data-maturity’"

Dubravko Dolic, head of Applied Analytics & AI, Continental

Mindfuel_Logo-Black_RGB@4x (002)

Mindfuel

Mindfuel was founded on a simple idea: data and AI initiatives don’t fail because of technology – they fail because of poor strategic alignment, unclear value, and unstructured management. We’ve seen how even the most promising use cases get stuck in backlogs, spread across slides, spreadsheets, and disconnected systems, as well as duplicated effort because of a lack of transparency.


At Mindfuel, we believe that data and AI teams should be able to demonstrate measurable business value from their initiatives and not act as reactive service providers with no clear impact. So we built a platform designed to help them manage their portfolio with purpose. Managing AI shouldn’t require ad hoc workflows or only responding to the loudest voice in the room. Teams need a better way to intake, prioritize, and track use cases – one that puts business value front and center.

Our mission is to enable enterprises to be structured, transparent, and focused on outcomes by enabling them to collect and prioritize high-value initiatives, align and communicate with stakeholders, and demonstrate business impact. By replacing fragmented tools and manual processes with a single source of truth, connecting all use cases and data products, we empower data teams to manage their portfolio with clarity, efficiency, and strategic focus from day one.

Headquartered in Munich and serving enterprise clients globally, Mindfuel is on a mission to help organizations get more out of their data and AI investments – not by scaling effort, but by scaling focus.
