“While we are not entirely over the pandemic yet, I was personally touched and thrilled to see the excitement among our customers and partners, both in-person and online who joined us to make this year’s DataFest such a success,” said Ravi Shankar, SVP and CMO at Denodo. “Our customers, partners, and internal subject matter experts presented and discussed topics such as why data lakehouse needs a logical architecture, application of advanced semantics in multi/hybrid cloud scenarios, the need for performance acceleration for advanced analytics and data science, to name a few. It was great to see the strength of our customers’ use cases as the Innovation Award polling saw stiff competition among the finalists.”

Ant International Partners with Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol to Expand AI Capabilities12.1.2026 02:15:00 CET | Press release
Ant International, a leading global payment, digitisation, and financial technology provider, is collaborating on the launch of Google’s Universal Commerce Protocol (UCP), a new open standard for agentic commerce that works across the entire shopping journey — from discovery and buying to post-purchase support. UCP establishes a common language for agents and systems to operate together across consumer surfaces, businesses, and payment providers to enable commerce. So instead of requiring unique connections for every individual agent, UCP enables all agents to interact easily. UCP is built to work across verticals and is compatible with existing industry protocols like Agent2Agent (A2A), Agent Payments Protocol (AP2), and Model Context Protocol (MCP). “For agentic commerce to scale, it’s critical for the industry to align on a common set of standards. We are proud to have Ant International endorse the Universal Commerce Protocol as the foundation for that future,” said Ashish Gupta, VP
