Back from Intersect Cannes 2026, inspired and ready to act 🚀

Intersect Cannes 2026 has come to an end, and as always, we return not just with impressions, but with ideas shaped by real conversations and shared experiences.

This year’s event once again proved its value as a space where partners, clients, and industry leaders meet openly — to exchange perspectives, discuss challenges, and learn from each other across markets.

BS/2 attended together with our invited guests — Anvar Irchaev, Chairman of the Bank Council of JSCB Universal bank (Uzbekistan); Mashxurbek
Madaminjonov, Deputy Chairman of the Board of PJSB Trustbank (Uzbekistan); Sherzod Mirzaakhmedov, Manager of the Namangan banking services office at PJSB Trustbank (Uzbekistan); and Madona Tsulaia, Deputy Retail Banking Director at TBC Bank (Georgia). Being there as a joint delegation made it possible not only to follow discussions, but to reflect on them together and translate insights into practical thinking.

Throughout the event, our delegation was supported by Diebold Nixdorf’s senior leadership for the region, including Javinder Singh Gill, Vice President, Global Banking Product Management, Vice President for Asia, Middle East and Africa, and Charisma Mahajan, Head of Banking Product Sales for APAC and CEE. Their involvement once again highlights the strength of our long-term partnership and the close collaboration we continue to build across regions.

For us, this is what Intersect is really about. It reflects the level of trust, partnership, and shared direction we have developed with Diebold Nixdorf over more than 30 years — and why we continue to come back every year together with our clients.

One of the key themes across sessions was the growing role of artificial intelligence in banking and how it is being integrated into everyday processes.
As our Deputy CEO of Commerce, Nikolajs Želņins, noted: “Artificial intelligence is already becoming part of banks’ daily operations. However, its real value comes from how effectively it is applied. The human remains the key decision-maker — setting the rules and using technology to enhance efficiency, not replace it.”

Thank you to our partners, clients, and the Diebold Nixdorf team for the open dialogue and shared insights!
