Inside BRED’s Data & AI Evolution
Join us for an executive breakfast briefing featuring Groupe BPCE, France’s second-largest banking group, and its subsidiary BRED Banque Populaire, as they share their journey deploying the Actian Data Intelligence Platform (formerly Zeenea).
Date: November 25, 2026
Time: 8:30 AM CET
Location: Actian (Zeenea) office
What You'll Learn
Discover how BPCE and BRED transformed enterprise data governance—starting from the rigorous demands of BCBS 239 compliance and evolving into a trusted foundation for their broader AI ambitions. Facing strict regulatory requirements for risk data aggregation and reporting, BRED made the strategic decision to replace their incumbent data catalog with a modern governance architecture built for auditability, lineage, and scale.
You’ll hear directly about the business and technology transformation, including the pivotal role of Aekiden, a specialized consultancy and expert partner in data governance and culture, which served as the strategic advisor and implementation partner throughout the transition.
Join us to:
- Hear the BPCE and BRED transformation story firsthand, from regulatory pressure to enterprise-wide enablement.
- Explore the decision to replace an existing data catalog, uncovering the operational bottlenecks that prompted the switch and the criteria used to choose a successor.
- Turn compliance into an advantage, seeing how meeting BCBS 239 standards established the data lineage, trust, and metadata foundation needed for generative and predictive AI.
- Gain practical deployment strategies from Aekiden on navigating tool migration, accelerating adoption, and cultivating a lasting data culture.
