RAISE Summit 2026

RAISE Summit 2026 brings a major AI audience to Paris on 8-9 July 2026 at Le Carrousel du Louvre. Organized by Chain Of Events, the summit is positioned around AI leadership, enterprise adoption, and return on investment, with a strong emphasis on networking, policy, and the infrastructure behind the current AI buildout.

The event presents itself as a global meeting point for AI decision makers. Its official materials describe 9,000 attendees and highlight a crowd made up of leaders, C-suite executives, startups, investors, and policymakers. The summit also notes a special address from French President Emmanuel Macron, which underlines the event’s policy relevance and its profile in the European AI conversation.

RAISE Summit 2026 is explicitly aimed at C-Suite Executives, AI Founders and Startups, Investors, and Policymakers. The official descriptions point to strategic AI insights, investor connections, deal sourcing, governance discussions, and access to a high-level peer network.

The summit also fits teams working in AI, deep tech, and ad tech, especially where business strategy intersects with enterprise adoption or infrastructure choices. For startups, the event’s competition and hackathon formats add a practical layer that goes beyond standard conference attendance.

The 2026 programme is built around four lenses: Foundation, Frontier, Friction, and Future. That structure gives the summit a broad but practical frame, covering what AI needs to scale, what is emerging at the edge, what is slowing adoption, and what may come next.

Official topic themes include:

• Compute as Capital
• Sovereign Cloud and Trusted Infrastructure
• Financing the AI Boom
• Agentic Systems and Autonomous Intelligence
• AI Adoption Frameworks from Pilots to Production
• Public Policy, Governance, and Geopolitics

The summit combines keynote-style content, agenda sessions, side events, a hackathon, and startup competition activity. Its official pages also point to RAISE Week, which suggests the event extends beyond the main summit days into a wider Paris programme.

• A hackathon held during the summit dates
