Bir, the Caucasus region’s first fully integrated banking,
payments and eCommerce ecosystem, has presented its approach to
developing enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to
an international audience at Ai4 2026,
one of the world’s leading AI conferences.
Held in Las Vegas, US, Ai4 2026
brought together more than 12,000 participants from
over 90 countries, more than 1,000 speakers and 400
exhibitors. Taking place since 2018, the
conference serves as a global platform bringing together business
and technology leaders to explore the real-world application of AI,
generative AI, AI agents and other emerging technologies. The event
is described by its organisers as North America’s
largest AI industry event.
Bir was represented at the conference by Valeh
Nabiyev, Chief Data and AI Officer of the Bir ecosystem, and Seymur
Shabanli, Head of the AI Office. Valeh
Nabiyev spoke at Ai4 2026, presenting Bir’s approach to enterprise
AI to an international audience.
In his session, “Building the Enterprise AI
Operating System: Turning AI into an Organizational
Capability,” Nabiyev highlighted that the key
challenge for organisations is no longer simply developing
individual AI solutions, but building the organisational
capabilities required to deploy AI quickly, securely and at
scale.
He noted that delivering tangible business value from AI
requires more than developing standalone solutions. Organisations
need to establish an integrated approach that brings together data,
technology, people and business processes, while creating a unified
system that enables AI solutions to be deployed rapidly and at
scale across the organisation.
During the conference, representatives of the Bir ecosystem also
exchanged insights and experiences with AI and data leaders from
around the world. The Ai4 2026 programme covered real-world
applications of AI in business, as well as topics including
AI agents, generative AI, governance and responsible
AI.
Bir’s participation in Ai4 2026 provided an opportunity to
closely follow global AI trends and real-world applications, while
also sharing the ecosystem’s approach to enterprise AI
transformation with the international professional community.
Bir is the first fully integrated banking, payments and
e-commerce ecosystem of the Caucasus, redefining how people and
businesses interact with daily services in Azerbaijan. Launched in
2025 to unite the country’s leading brands, including Birbank,
Milliön payment terminals, and m10 e-wallet app, the Bir ecosystem
reaches over 5 million users. Through its extensive ecosystem and
strategic partnerships with Trendyol marketplace and BakıKart
transportation payment solution, Bir is building the foundation for
Azerbaijan’s first and largest digital ecosystem for consumers and
businesses.
