🎄✨ Deals, dates, and Christmas cookies. A look back at 2025 and a look ahead to 2026 ✨🎄

2025 was a year in which we all learned that AI isn't just making headlines, but is reshaping business models – caught between EU regulations, US speed, and global billions in investment. And yes, sometimes it felt like a Christmas market: loud, colorful, full of promises. But only those who find the right stall get the mulled wine that truly warms you.

👉 Thank you for the overwhelming support, the stimulating discussions, and the trust you have placed in us this year. Whether in New York, San Francisco, Berlin, or Munich, the consistently positive response to our OAK AI initiatives has shown that CEOs, VCs, and decision-makers want clear, concise answers, not just buzzwords .

💡 We at OAKAI are certain: 2026 will not be a year for followers, but for the courageous .

• Breaking rules instead of just following them: Trust is not built through conformity, but through the courage to set new standards.

• Disruption instead of decoration: Green AI is not a fig leaf, it's a mandatory program. Those who don't adapt will lose out.

• Decide, don't just do : Technology that only automates processes is a commodity. Value is created where AI agents take on responsibility.

And because Christmas is also a time to pause for a moment: Perhaps we should ask ourselves whether next year we should talk less about “AI hype” and more about how we can bring together responsibility, trust and growth .

🎁 Our wish for 2026: Bold decisions that create not only more returns, but also resonance and sustainability.

🎄Merry Christmas, an inspiring New Year, and here's to a year that brings more plain speaking, more deals and maybe a few less buzzwords✨.
