The Handelsblatt Data Executive Summit 2027 is scheduled for Berlin, opening on the twenty third of February and running over more than one day. The summit is organised by Handelsblatt and is listed on the organiser's current conference programme as a multi-day event in Berlin. No venue is named on the programme listing.
The summit is addressed to the executives who own data and analytics as a corporate function, covering data governance, platform consolidation, the operating model for analytics teams, and the data foundations that artificial intelligence deployments depend on.
The event matters to executives because the chief data officer role has moved in most large German companies from a compliance-driven position created under data protection law into a line function expected to produce measurable commercial return. That shift raises questions about where the function reports, how its budget is justified against the technology budget, and which decisions it is allowed to make without the chief information officer. Chief data officers, heads of analytics, chief information officers and the technology leadership of listed and family owned groups attend.
Berlin hosts the summit as the centre of the German technology start up sector and the seat of the federal ministries whose rules on data use shape what corporate data functions are permitted to do.
