PHILADELPHIA, PA — Qlik® has announced the launch of its 2025 AI Reality Tour, a global initiative aimed at helping businesses turn their AI strategies into tangible, scalable outcomes. With stops planned across the Americas, EMEA, and APAC, the tour will provide executives with practical tools and insights to address the most pressing challenges in AI adoption.
The tour arrives at a critical time, as 87% of business leaders rank AI execution as mission-critical. However, only 42% of executives report full confidence in AI-generated insights, and many cite infrastructure costs, data silos, and slow data integration as major roadblocks.
“AI isn’t a lab experiment anymore—it’s the baseline. What separates leaders now is execution,” said Mike Capone, CEO of Qlik. “That means embedding intelligence where decisions get made, and doing it with speed, trust, and scale. The AI Reality Tour shows what that looks like in practice—because strategy without action doesn’t move the needle.”
The program will highlight three key Qlik innovations that aim to simplify and accelerate AI deployment for complex enterprises:
- Unified Action Platform: By integrating data, analytics, and AI into a single, cloud-native platform, Qlik eliminates the need for patchwork solutions, enabling faster, more seamless execution.
- Efficiency-Focused Open Lakehouse: Qlik Open Lakehouse combines real-time ingestion, automated Iceberg optimization, and cross-engine functionality, improving performance up to 5x while cutting infrastructure costs by as much as 50%.
- Embedded AI: Tools like proactive discovery agents, embedded forecasting, and writeback capabilities bring AI directly into business workflows, ensuring intelligence operates at scale and within existing systems.
Vivienne Parsons, Senior Management Information Analyst at South Central Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust, reflected on Qlik’s user-friendly integration. “Qlik stood out because we didn’t need to rebuild our architecture or retrain our teams. We connected our systems, brought in the right data, and started seeing results quickly. It’s one of the few platforms that actually works across functions—from IT to the business—without creating more complexity.”
The 2025 AI Reality Tour aims to bridge the gap between AI theory and execution by addressing real-world challenges. Each event will feature live demonstrations, hands-on sessions with Qlik experts, and discussions tailored to regional business priorities.
Running from June through October, the tour is designed for decision-makers committed to scaling AI effectively and solving for the unique conditions that make AI valuable, rather than merely possible. Qlik’s campaign underscores the critical role of execution in achieving AI success and brings a roadmap for innovation directly to enterprises worldwide.
