As artificial intelligence rapidly shifts from buzzword to backbone of modern business, the need to adopt it strategically—and understand where to find investment—has never been more urgent. That’s why the Ireland Portugal Business Network is proud to present a high-impact panel series at the upcoming Innovation Conference in Dublin, taking place on Tuesday, June 17 at the Guinness Enterprise Centre (GEC). The event will bring together leading voices from both countries to explore how AI is driving transformation across sectors—from media and engineering to finance and beyond.

In this context, we’re excited to introduce the fourth and final panel of the day, featuring case study presentations from Philippe Brodeur, Barry Flynn, and Martin Duffy—three professionals who are applying AI in practical, high-value ways across very different domains.

Philippe Brodeur, Founder and CEO of Overcast HQ, brings more than two decades of experience at the intersection of video and technology. His Video Content-as-a-Service (VCaaS) platform helps distributed teams streamline video workflows—unlocking value, automating the technical heavy lifting, and building tools tailored to real-world business needs.

Joining him is Martin Duffy, a senior IT consultant and data analytics veteran with over 30 years’ experience. With deep expertise in everything from customer intelligence to fraud detection, Martin has helped organisations across financial services, manufacturing, and the public sector harness the power of data to drive smarter decisions and build analytics maturity that lasts.

Finally, Barry Flynn, Founder and Managing Director of IN2 Engineering, offers a perspective grounded in the built environment. With 25 years of experience in electrical systems and bespoke lighting design, Barry is pioneering how smart infrastructure, energy systems, and integrated engineering design are evolving through AI and intelligent automation.

Whether you're just beginning to explore AI or looking for capital to grow your next AI-powered venture, this panel will provide the clarity, connection, and confidence needed to take the next step.
