AI Program Kick-off - The Start of Our AI-Driven Transformation

We have just completed the AI program kick-off at Raiffeisen Tech — an intense day marking the real start of our AI-driven transformation. We demonstrated that AI is not just a trend for us, but a strategic development direction that we aim to implement responsibly, securely, and tailored to the real needs of our teams. How did it all look in practice? Check out the highlights from the event.

Program Structure and Key Initiatives

During the event, we presented the AI program structure, including competency development (with the launch of the Yellow Belt program), hackathons, work on real use cases, and the Innovation Chats AI initiative. We also discussed key areas such as governance and cybersecurity.

Corporate presentation slide outlines four pillars of AI competency. The sections include Training program, Hackathons, Community and communication, and Use Cases and PoC. Each pillar is briefly described with text about structured competency development, practical experiments, peer-to-peer support, and transformation of business processes. Simple line icons and a central circuit graphic emphasize technology and learning themes.

Practical Applications in Daily Work

An important part of the event were the hands-on sessions, where we showed real-life examples of how AI can support everyday work:

  • building a programming task end-to-end with AI agents — from task analysis and development to code review, while reducing repetitive work, 
  • automating TimePlus reporting with AI, based on real daily work scenarios and local data storage, 
  • using AI to speed up frontend development, including implementing interfaces directly from Figma designs while staying fully aligned with the design system and GDS components.

Engagement and Appreciation

The AI program kick-off attracted great interest both from participants attending in person and those joining us online. We are delighted by the strong response to our invitation and your active participation in the event.

Slide outlines AI transformation goals for a banking technology partner. The text highlights being the first choice technology partner for RBI Group to drive the transformation towards the future of banking. It emphasizes maintaining employee competencies through AI training and hands-on AI-assisted work. The slide also focuses on maintaining market competitiveness by leveraging AI-assisted and Agentic AI models. Minimal graphics include yellow icons and arrows supporting the corporate presentation style.

AI is not just technology — it’s a mindset about how we work. Our goal is to build competencies and real solutions that support teams in their daily tasks and create value for the business.

Shaping the Future with AI

AI transformation is not a one-time initiative — it’s a journey that evolves together with our people, processes, and technology. The kick-off was just the beginning, but it already showed how much potential, curiosity, and engagement exist across our teams. By combining innovation with responsibility, we want to create an environment where AI becomes a practical, trusted partner in everyday work and a real driver of future growth.
