Codurance x Matillion: AI-Powered Engineering Lightning Talks

AI-powered engineering is rapidly changing how software teams design, build, test and ship code. But beyond the hype, engineering leaders are now facing a much more practical question:

What does successful AI adoption actually look like inside real engineering teams?

We're proud to partner with Matillion, one of Manchester’s standout technology success stories, for a practical evening exploring the good, the bad and the ugly of AI-powered software delivery.

 

This session will explore what’s really happening on the ground through short lightning talks and practical discussions led by Andy Norton, VP of Engineering at Flipdish, Mike Skaife, CTO at Credit Technologies, and senior principals from Codurance and Matillion.

Modernising for Value: Leveraging Modern Technology to Maximise Business Growth and Investor Confidence

In today’s investment landscape, technology is a direct driver of value creation and commercial performance, yet it remains one of the greatest sources of risk to long-term success.

 

Join Codurance, in partnership with pro-manchester, for a commercially focused breakfast briefing exploring how leveraging modern technology is crucial to creating measurable value, maximising business growth and boosting investor confidence.

 

Drawing on real-world experience with high-growth and investor-backed organisations, our speakers will explore:

  • How technical due diligence is shaping valuation as investors place greater emphasis on resilience, scalability, technology maturity and risk exposure.
  • Why the first 100 days post-investment are critical for identifying commercial priorities, unlocking efficiencies, stabilising operations and building investor confidence.
  • How strengthening operational efficiency, reducing key-person dependence and accelerating go-to-market can create a more scalable and revenue-ready organisation.
  • How stronger technology foundations improve decision-making, enhance data quality and create the conditions for innovation, including AI, when the commercial case is right.

This session is ideal for business leaders, technology leaders, operating partners and portfolio teams who want a clear, practical understanding of how modernisation directly drives growth, reduces risk and increases enterprise value.
