                                         Knowledge graphs (KGs) have in recent years gained a large momentum both in academic research
                                         and in real-world applications. This is particularly the case in data management, where they have
                                         become a bridge between databases, artificial intelligence (AI), data science, the (semantic) web and
                                         semantic computing, linked data, and many other areas. In particular, they have become a bridge between
                                         logic-based reasoning, and machine learning-based reasoning. Languages for KGs on the one hand, and
                                         systems for KGs i.e., Knowledge Graph Management Systems (KGMS) on the other hand, have garnered
                                         increasing attention. In this talk, we will give a showcase of real-world applications of knowledge graph
                                         management systems, driven by principled theory translating to scalable practice. We will introduce the
                                         theory and systems in the area, with a particular spotlight on the Vadalog system and language. We then
                                         focus on seeing the system in action through a number of real-world and business applications, including:
                                         corporate governance, media intelligence, supply chains, collateral eligibility, hostile takeovers, smart
                                         anonymization, and anti-money laundering.
