RAISE Summit

Where visionaries and AI converge. Coming July 7-9, 2026 at the Carrousel du Louvre, Paris.

Every cloud vendor wants to be your only cloud. Emma is built on the opposite bet.

As AI workloads scale, fragmentation becomes a material cost rather than an inconvenience: untraceable spend, skills gaps spread thin across providers, and vendor lock-in that compounds over time. 

The more enterprises invest in AI, the more their cloud infrastructure must be managed as a single system rather than five separate ones. 

Emma makes that possible. Its cloud-agnostic platform unifies hybrid and multi-cloud environments into a single layer for deployment, optimization, governance, and cost management, helping teams run AI wherever their cloud runs without sacrificing control or efficiency.

Backed by leading investors, including @BlackRock , @Smartfin_vc , @rtpvc, CircleRock Capital, @altairvc, and AAL, Emma operates with a simple conviction: cloud infrastructure should be intelligent, efficient, and accessible to everyone.

This July 8-9, Emma joins the builders, operators, and technology leaders shaping cloud infrastructure for start-ups to large enterprises. 

Limited spots remain, and are going quickly.

A decade ago, building an online store meant months of development and a small fortune. Then @Shopify turned e-commerce into a few clicks, and millions of businesses came online overnight.

That was the last great rewiring of commerce. The next one is already underway, and this time the customer might not be human.

As agentic AI enters e-commerce, software is starting to browse, compare, and buy on our behalf. What makes that possible isn't the model. It's large-scale, real-time access to data on a web built for people, not agents. And the web isn't giving it up easily: dynamic page structures, anti-automation friction, and a legal landscape rewriting itself in real time all stand in the way.

This July 8, on the #RAISESummit Master Stage, Juras Juršėnas, COO, at @Oxylabs_io and Fred de Villamil, Senior Director of Technology, at @NielsenIQ for Digital Commerce, break down what it takes to access web data at scale: compliantly, ethically, and without losing the human expertise that still makes it work:

When agents become the shoppers, who controls the data they run on?

We are pleased to welcome Cecilia Wang, Principal at @Accel, as a jury member for RAISE the STAKES, the flagship startup competition of RAISE Week 2026.

Cecilia joined Accel in 2021 and focuses on AI, fintech, and consumer businesses. She led Accel's investment in SolveAI and works closely with the teams at Fuse, Perceptic, and Viktor.

Before Accel, Cecilia led product strategy at @Revolut, reporting directly to founder and CEO Nik Storonsky and helping the company reach profitability. Earlier, she worked at @Citi's Banking, Capital Markets and Advisory group across New York and London.

Having scaled Revolut from the inside, Cecilia brings an operator's eye to the table; she'll be looking at whether founders truly understand their market, whether their product holds up under real-world pressure, and whether the team has the execution discipline to turn traction into scale.

At #RAISESummit, RAISE the STAKES finalists will pitch to Cecilia and a jury of operators, investors, and builders who've scaled companies from zero to production.

If your startup is ready to prove it belongs in that company, this is your chance to pitch in front of the people who've backed the best.

Insane demos by @XRoboHub. At @MACHINASUMMIT were bringing together the architects of physical AI, the builders of humanoids, and the frontier AI labs for robotics. If you are moving your robot from demo to deployment, MACHINA, this July 7 at Station F is the room you need to be in.

Most enterprises are securing the wrong layer. The conversation has fixated on agents in production, but the deeper shift is upstream: software is increasingly being written by agents, not developers. 

That moves the security question from "is this code secure?" to "can we trust the system that created it?"

It's a gap that introduces three security problems that no existing category was built to solve: 

1. The supply chain the agent depends on: MCP servers, skills, plugins
2. The agent's behavior at runtime: tool calls, shell access, network traffic
3. The code the agent ships: it passes tests but breaks at authorization, trust boundaries, and business logic.

This July 8, Manoj Nair, Chief Innovation Officer at @Snyksec, addresses these frictions during his Keynote, “Agentic Development Security: The Three Problems Nobody Was Solving, and the One That Matters Most for 2026.” 

Snyk knows security. Agents know the app. Neither works alone. 

If you're a senior leader shaping security strategy, the AI Security Summit (July 7), hosted by Snyk during RAISE Week, is where this conversation continues

@OpenAI has filed a confidential S-1 with the SEC, a preliminary IPO step. The company says no timeline is set. With @AnthropicAI having filed days earlier, and coming ahead of @SpaceX 's market debut, the disclosures could become the first public look at frontier AI economics.

2026 is a BRUTAL grind in VC. You start in Davos, freeze in Aspen, hit Upfront, survive Milken, then it’s straight to Paris for the French Open. Briefly back in NYC for the Knicks. Then, total blur: SuperReturn in Berlin, Founders Forum in London, then back stateside for the World Cup, back to Paris for Raise AI, Idaho for Sun Valley, quick respite in Mykonos, then the Goldman tech gauntlet, Slush in Finland, NeurIPS in freakin’ Sydney… and *boom*, a productive year of thought leadership and adding value is over, and you’re a wreck.

Foundation models, cloud, and the chips underneath. 

Most providers offer one. Alibaba Cloud runs all three.

Alibaba Cloud is bringing full-stack AI infrastructure to RAISE Summit 2026.

As one of the world's largest cloud providers, @Alibaba_Cloud spans the entire AI stack from foundation models to cloud infrastructure to proprietary silicon. At the center is its open-source Qwen family of models, which has surpassed 600 million downloads. 

As the leading cloud provider in the Asia Pacific by market share, last year, Alibaba Cloud announced plans to invest at least $53B over the next three years to advance its cloud computing and AI infrastructure. 

This July 8-9, Alibaba Cloud joins the builders laying the foundation for the next era of AI. 

Be in the room with the leaders building AI infrastructure, advancing research, and deploying AI at scale across North America and Asia at @RAISESummit 2026.

Headphones on. The world narrows to a single screen.

But the engineer isn't typing. The agents are. 

One reads the codebase. One drafts the feature. One writes the tests, runs them, fixes what breaks. Lines of code scroll past faster than any human could write them, and the engineer's role is to steer, to decide, to point the fleet at the next hard problem. 

Entering a flow state, redrawn for the agentic era: fewer keystrokes, more judgment.

This is how the best engineering teams already work, running fleets of cloud agents. The scope of what one person can build has exploded in the last year. Engineers are taking on projects that once needed an entire team. 

Security backlogs cleared in an afternoon. Year-long migrations compressed into days. Production issues fixed without a human writing a line of code.

At @cognition, 89% of its code is written with cloud agents.

This July 8 at the Carrousel du Louvre, we are proud to welcome @ScottWu46, Co-Founder and CEO at Cognition, to the Master Stage for his keynote on “The Golden Age of Software Engineering,” how the best engineers are working today, and what any developer can do to start building at this scale.

What does your flow state look like now that the agents do the typing?

RAISE the STAKES just secured the man who's been building @Google's startup ecosystem in France for years.

We are proud to announce Grégoire Peiron, Director of @Google Cloud France for Startups & Digital Natives, as a Jury member at RAISE the STAKES, the flagship startup competition. 

Grégoire leads Google Cloud's Go-To-Market strategy for founders working directly with the startups, VCs, accelerators, and incubators shaping the next wave of European tech. With 25 years in technology and GTM leadership, he has a proven track record scaling fast-growing businesses. 

He has seen what separates the startups that get Google Cloud's attention from the ones that don't.

Grégoire brings the infrastructure-meets-go-to-market lens to the main stage: Is your product solving a real enterprise problem or a founder's fantasy? Does your distribution strategy hold up when the people who've actually scaled businesses are stress-testing it? And are you building something that investors and ecosystem partners will want to pull into their portfolio or one that looks better on a deck than in a data room?

At #RAISESummit, on July 8-9, you will be pitching in front of him across a packed hall of operators, investors, and builders who've done it themselves.

Are you ready for it? This is your final chance to apply.

Congratulations to @cognition on closing $1B at a $26B valuation. The metrics speak for themselves. Nearly $500M in revenue run rate. More than 90% of their own code is written by Devin. A target of $1B ARR before the year is out.

Devin isn't a concept anymore. It's shipping product, serving enterprise clients, and redefining what engineering teams can execute. This is the kind of company shaping AI's next chapter.

Meet them at the Cognition Activation Lounge in Soufflot at #RAISESummit this July.
