Looking back at Wortell Ready 2025

Technology is evolving at a pace that brings new opportunities every day. What was a promise yesterday is already a reality today. During Wortell Ready 2025 , we brought that progress to life, in the middle of the icons of innovation, in the Louwman Museum in The Hague.
In this special place, where the history of the automotive industry seamlessly meets the future of IT, hundreds of visitors discovered how organizations can position themselves in an agile and future-oriented way in a world that is constantly changing.

We look back on a day full of inspiration, strategy, innovation and human stories. And of course: the aftermovie, with which you can relive the energy of this day.

A tailor-made day: 20+ sessions full of insights and impact

Ready 2025 once again offered a modular program in which each visitor could determine his or her own route. With more than twenty strategic and technical sessions, interspersed with an exclusive tour of the museum, a unique mix of learning, experiencing and meeting was created.

Visitors dived into, among other things:

• Strategic developments around AI, agents, cybersecurity and digital transformation

• Technical Deep Dives for IT Pros

• Case studies on adoption, cloud migration, data, and information management

• Inspiring stories from experts from a wide range of industries

And all with one goal: to help organizations make technology work today for tomorrow's challenges.

From AI hype to AI impact

During Ready 2025, one theme was confirmed everywhere: AI is not a hype, but a responsibility.

Damen Shipyards: the next wave of maritime innovation
With almost a century of experience, Damen Shipyards showed how they are harnessing the power of AI for the future of shipbuilding. Ignacio Bonetto Beytia and Femke Cornelissen shared inspiring insights on how data and automation are enabling a new wave of efficiency .

Beyond the hype: why 40% of AI projects fail
According to Gartner, by 2025, as many as 40% of agentic AI projects will fail. During her session, Megan Bloemsma made it clear why this is the case and especially: how organizations can do things differently. Her message was clear and concrete: only with a clear strategy, focus and realistic ambition does AI deliver sustainable value.

A confrontational reality check on cybersecurity
Maarten Goet's  story caused an audible silence in the room. He shared the case of a data breach in which the data of 941,000 women were exposed. A poignant wake-up call that showed the importance of strong security, governance and ethical data use at a time when our digital footprint is constantly growing.

In addition to the substantive sessions, Ready 2025 also offered an exclusive tour of the Louwman Museum. Between design, rare automobiles and pure technology , it became clear that innovation is of all times. The connection between past and future became tangible. Where craftsmanship and daring used to make the difference, today it is data and technology that help organizations move forward. But the urge to innovate? It remains exactly the same.
