Most welcome to the Software Center Reporting Workshop hosted at Malmö University on June 11th, 2025. Software Center (www.software-center.se), is a collaboration between 15 global companies and 5 Swedish universities focused on accelerating the digital transformation of the European software intensive industry. During this event, we invite companies and researchers to exchange knowledge and to together explore the impact of future technologies.
The theme of the day is ‘Towards AI-driven organizations’ and we invite you to together explore the many ways in which AI is affecting business processes, products and ways-of-working in software-intensive systems companies. Join us in exploring the full potential of AI and how to maximise the value of these new technologies!

Based on recent observations, we see that AI is typically used to help us “do more of what we already do” and to complement us in existing tasks. People use AI to improve their own personal productivity and to automate specific steps in a process. During R&D of products, AI agents are used to support and automate e.g., test case generation and we also see examples of AI agents being used to complement a team in areas where team members lack skills.
However, we see few examples in which AI is used to fundamentally reinvent existing tasks, work practices and organizations. In our view, an AI-driven organisation is “An organization in which every business process has been redesigned from an AI-first mind-set meaning that any activity that can be automated or conducted using AI solutions and/or agentic AI has been implemented in that fashion.”
During the workshop, we hope to explore the concept of an AI-driven organisation e.g., what are good examples of AI adoption, what are the steps companies go through in the evolution and adoption of AI, and what are the problems companies experience in the adoption of AI?
Our program includes keynote presentations, research presentations and interactive discussions that focus on different aspects of AI and the potential of these technologies in industry.
Most welcome to explore the potential of AI and what an AI-driven organisation could look like together with us!
