AI Shift 2026: Copilot Studio, Foundry and Governance in Practice

A recap of AI Shift 2026 at Microsoft in Vienna, focusing on Copilot Studio, agents, Foundry and AI Governance.

Talks AI Copilot Studio

At AI Shift 2026, one thing was clear: AI is no longer just an experiment — it is already part of real business processes in many organisations.

The event hosted by base-IT and Microsoft gave a very practical look at how Copilot, Agents, Foundry and Governance fit together when moving from individual demos towards robust, production-ready implementations.

My Key Takeaway

The difference between a pilot and real impact often has nothing to do with model quality. It comes down to:

  • Process integration
  • Data quality
  • Governance
  • Continuous enablement within the team

The event did an excellent job of making exactly this gap visible.
