Mathematical Optimization: Empowering Bold Decisions Across Industries

To compete in today’s volatile business environment, organizations must make critical decisions every day—from scheduling, to production, to distribution. As supply chains grow more intricate, regulations become more complex, and customer demands increase, these decisions cannot be left to chance or intuition. To make bolder, smarter, faster decisions, today’s businesses need mathematical optimization.

Mathematical optimization, a type of decision intelligence technology, is what helps leading airlines to plan the best possible crew schedules, food delivery services to provide personalized and affordable meals, and telecommunications companies to ensure the most efficient and cost-effective fiber rollouts.

At the 2025 Gurobi Decision Intelligence Summit EMEA, business leaders, data scientists, and operations researchers will gather to explore how optimization empowers bold decisions across industries.

Gurobi Summit EMEA: The Premier Event for Decision Intelligence

The Gurobi Summit EMEA (formerly known as Gurobi Live) brings together industry leaders, experts, and innovators from a variety of sectors to explore how mathematical optimization and decision intelligence empower organizations to move beyond intuition and drive real-world impact.

This year’s event will take place October 28-29, 2025, at the Hofburg Conference Centre in Vienna, bringing together a vibrant community of decision-makers, data scientists, and operations researchers to explore how optimization drives clarity, agility, and impact in an increasingly complex world.

With a focus on the theme “Empowering Bold Decisions,” attendees will learn how businesses can unlock their full potential through the power of decision intelligence technology, with insights into the latest research, best practices, and real-world success stories.

Two Tracks, One Mission

Day One of the Gurobi Summit EMEA will offer two specialized breakout tracks for attendees to choose from based on their goals and interests:

Business Track: Embracing Business Complexity Through Optimization

Designed for executives and decision-makers looking to drive impact with optimization, the Business Leader track will explore how decision intelligence technology can help organizations embrace complexity while achieving optimal outcomes, with presentations from Danone, Iberia, and more.

Technical Track: From Optimization 101 to Implementing Real-World, Well-Performing Models

For those interested in learning more about the technical side of optimization, this track will prepare attendees to implement real-world, well-performing models, no matter where they are in their optimization journey—with special presentations from Airbus, Levasoft, Turkish Airlines, and more.

Day 2: Meet 1:1 with Gurobi Experts

For Day Two of the summit, attendees will have the opportunity to book a 30-minute 1:1 consulting session with Gurobi’s technical experts—to discuss everything from model tuning to optimization best practices for their specific use cases. Spots are limited and should be booked in advance.

Key Sessions and Case Studies

The Gurobi Summit offers an unmatched opportunity for attendees to learn directly from leading companies and organizations solving today’s most pressing challenges with optimization. This year’s agenda includes:

• Keynote by A1 Telekom: Discover how A1 achieves significant time and cost savings while increasing transparency and confidence for all stakeholders in fiber network deployment.
• Case Study from Gousto: Learn how one of the UK’s leading meal kit providers optimizes menu planning, demand forecasting, supply chain management, and ultimately, fulfilment.
• Technical Session from Turkish Airlines: See how AI and operations research methods can be combined to tackle large-scale airline recovery problems.
• Building Trust in Optimization: Explore some of Gurobi’s advanced features and learn how these tools can help users not only model more efficiently, but also better understand optimization results and build trust their solutions.
• Gurobi Experts Panel Discussion: Hear directly from Gurobi’s technical leaders as they discuss current challenges, innovations, and the future of optimization,

These sessions, among many others, will give attendees both the inspiration and the technical knowledge to transform the way their organizations approach decision-making.

Networking and Community

In addition to an extensive speaker lineup, the Gurobi Summit EMEA is a unique opportunity to connect with peers and experts from across industries. Whether you are seeking to discuss best practices, collaborate with your peers, or get advice from expert optimization practitioners, the event fosters an environment of shared learning and discovery.

Who Should Attend?

Whether you’re shaping the future of your business or engineering the solutions of tomorrow, the Gurobi Summit EMEA will equip you with the tools, inspiration, and connections to turn complexity into opportunity — and bold ideas into bold action. The event is perfect for:

• Business leaders seeking to make bold, data-driven decisions with confidence.
• Data scientists who are curious about integrating optimization into their analytics toolkit.
