For the CIB Group, the year 2025 was a milestone in its further development. Through our clear focus on innovation, automation, and artificial intelligence, as well as the expansion of our technical community, we have sustainably strengthened our position as a strategic partner for digital transformation.
This year in review summarizes the most important highlights: technological advances, key events, the growth of our community, and continuous optimizations that are paving the way to a digital future.
Innovación en IA y consolidación de la comunidad
The year 2025 began with strong momentum from the AI community. At the Munich Datageeks meetup, experts discussed multimodal AI, automated document classification, and security aspects of modern AI models.



At the same time, we promoted exchange between developers, data scientists, and companies involved in applied AI—and created new spaces for networking, knowledge transfer, and co-creation.
AI, accessibility, and document efficiency
In 2025, we have consistently expanded our AI ecosystem and created CIB smartER, a RAG-based solution that enables highly intelligent, AI-supported searches in extensive document collections.
CIB ridmi also ensures maximum digital accessibility: The tool converts scanned documents and images into accessible PDFs (PDF/UA), optimizes reading order, structure, and alternative texts, and makes information accessible to everyone.Forma
AI Thought Leader Summit 2025
One highlight of our AI engagement was the AI Thought Leader Summit. At the event held at CIB modul-E, industry leaders, specialists, and experts discussed the use of AI in the areas of process automation and document analysis.
Workshops, panel discussions, and networking formats further strengthened our shared vision of ethical, efficient, and accessible AI.
CIB User Group: Over 70 banks and partners united through digitalization.
The specialized sessions featured presentations on successful automation projects using CIB flow, as well as solutions for background processing. In addition, we presented our solutions for improving accessibility.
Our new collaborative online tool supports the growing network and promotes the exchange of best practices.
We are already looking forward to the fourth CIB User Group meeting in May 2026!
