Turning Data Into Intelligence, Lessons from the 2025 AI Summit

Private markets are entering a new phase. The discussion is no longer about adopting digital tools. It is about building intelligent infrastructure that transforms how firms operate, scale, and make decisions. Firms are moving beyond discussing AI’s potential and are now deploying AI that delivers measurable, repeatable business outcomes.

The newly released 2025 Private Markets AI Summit Insights Report discusses takeaways from The Private Markets AI Summit. As a sponsor and active participant, Alkymi was proud to help shape this conversation and demonstrate how AI is transforming workflows across private markets. The Summit brought together innovators, technology leaders, and operating executives to address one of the industry’s defining questions: how can AI deliver real, measurable value for financial institutions.

Harald Collet, CEO, Alkymi, chaired the panel “How AI Achieves Real Business Outcomes,” which brought together industry leaders to discuss how firms are building measurable, scalable value with AI today. Panelists explored how to structure and scale smart pilots, build business cases that withstand scrutiny, and integrate AI into workflows that generate both revenue impact and operational efficiencies. They also shared practical examples across research, compliance, and due diligence, offering a blueprint for moving from pilot to production.

The report highlights that the industry is entering a new era where intelligence sets firms apart. Organizations are beginning to connect systems that once worked independently, embed AI into everyday workflows and apply the same level of discipline to governing AI agents that they use to manage portfolio risk. Throughout the Summit, the conversation consistently returned to one theme: how can AI strengthen human judgment and expand its impact across every decision and dataset.

The report organizes ideas into three strategic pillars: 

• building strong data foundations
• governing with both speed and trust 
• measuring real impact rather than activity

It also outlines ten practical insights for allocators, managers and technology leaders who are shaping the next phase of innovation in private markets. The Private Markets Forum Post-Event Report provides valuable insight  into how financial institutions are approaching artificial intelligence. Read the complete Private Markets AI Report here.

As private markets move into this new era, the firms that thrive will be those that learn fastest, adapt quickly, and place intelligence at the center of their operating models. At Alkymi, we are committed to supporting this transformation by unlocking intelligence from unstructured data and enabling automated, audit-ready workflows that help institutions build smarter, faster, and more resilient operations for the future.
