A $100 million travel budget becomes $85 million once machine learning takes over. 

At RAISE Summit, Ariel Cohen, Co-Founder & CEO of @Navan, broke down the math: since day one, machine learning hasn't been a feature, it's been the foundation. Understanding what a traveler actually wants, organizing search around it, cutting cost without cutting quality. The result is companies save an average of 15% across their entire travel budget, just from ML doing its job well.

But Cohen didn't stop at the numbers. He raised a sharper question: what happens to the people who aren't part of this AI wave at all? His challenge to the room was direct. Figure out what work looks like for them, or risk building an entire industry with nobody left to sell to.

Monetizing AI is entering a new phase with Apple's decision to integrate Siri's compute capabilities into iCloud+ subscriptions. By allowing users to purchase additional computing power, Apple is not just selling access; it's redefining how AI can be woven into existing business models.

This move points to an emerging trend where tech companies leverage their existing ecosystems for sustainable revenue streams, blending AI enhancements with familiar services. It's a strategic shift that both enhances user engagement and sets a new standard in how legacy platforms can evolve with AI.

Raise's focus on production AI echoes this transformation. The integration of advanced technologies within established platforms highlights the importance of innovation in today's competitive landscape, a central tenet at Raise.

[RAISE Summit @RaiseSummit]

For two days in July, Paris held the people deciding how the next era of technology gets built.

9,000+ attendees from 90 countries. 350+ speakers. 200+ sponsors. 822 CEOs. 80%+ of participants at C-suite or decision-making level. 168 Fortune 500, CAC 40, FTSE 100, DAX and S&P 500 companies represented. Over $600B in AUM in the building.

Leaders from @Google, @Meta, @Lovable, @OpenAI, @Broadcom, @MistralAI, @IREN_Ltd, @cognition, @FireworksAI_HQ, and hundreds more were on the floor and on the stage, setting the agenda for the next decade of AI. @mcuban, @ylecun, @sk7037, @arthurmensch, and @manojnair among the voices that defined the programme.

The verdict from the room speaks for itself.

"The size of the conference has tripled since last year, and the calibre of speakers has actually improved. And so, it's literally the best AI conference in the world." — Helena Chao, @BankofAmerica.

"There is so much room for success, and the need for collaboration is going to be significant. And I think that's going to really take an ecosystem. There's not going to be any one company, Google included, that can solve the problems up and down the stack. So it's going to require tremendous collaboration to make it all happen." - @AminVahdat, @Google

Amin is right. No single company solves the stack. Which is precisely what RAISE was built for, not an audience, but a working floor. A room where the people who fund, build, buy and deploy actually meet: thousands of one-to-one meetings running alongside the programme. The stages set the agenda. The tables around them set things in motion.

Thank you to every speaker, sponsor, partner, and attendee who made RAISE Summit 2026 the room where the industry comes to decide what happens next.

A huge thank you to our partners at Final Chain Films, who documented every moment the way it deserved to be captured.

And the room is about to get bigger. RAISE Summit is joining @hyve_group, the formula that built one of the world's most influential technology conferences in three editions now goes global.

The 2026 summit ended. What it set in motion didn't.

[Nasdaq Exchange @NasdaqExchange]

Nasdaq was at @RAISESummit in Paris, where we sat down with founders and asked them to go off-script — their guiding philosophy, the contrarian bets they're willing to stand behind, and the innovations quietly generating enormous value that the broader conversation has yet to catch up with.

[RAISE Summit @RaiseSummit]

@ChicotD @wayne_nelmz @HenriDelahaye @ChicotD we have you covered! https://t.co/ExDRaqnLm4

[RAISE Summit @RaiseSummit]

RAISE Summit just lit up Times Square. Again.

This time with news of our acquisition by @hyve_group, and what it means for where @RaiseSummit , @MACHINASUMMIT and Signal Week (formerly @ParisBlockWeek) goes next.

In just three editions, we became one of the most influential AI platforms in the world. Now we're taking it global.

2026 was just the beginning.

A huge thank you to our partners at @NYSEWired, @bjbaumann2014, @furrier, Gemma Allen, and Laura Diorio, for helping us tell this story from one of the most iconic stages in the world.

[Hammerspace @Hammerspace_Inc]

AI Is the New Operating Environment. Data Is the New Control Plane.

In this keynote session from the @RaiseSummit 2026, David Flynn, CEO of @Hammerspace_inc, explores the paradigm shift where AI acts as the new operating environment.

With the AI arms race accelerating, Flynn argues that time is the most valuable commodity, and competitive success hinges on mastering data logistics.

POV: you just walked into RAISE Summit.

9,000 people. 2,000+ companies. 350+ speakers. 75 booths from some of the biggest names in AI. And 80% of the room at C-suite or decision-making level.

This isn't a conference you attend to watch the industry from a distance. This is the room where it actually shows up.

The panels are one thing. It's the conversations between them that change things, the ones you didn't plan for, the introductions that happen in corridors, the deals that start over coffee.

And sometimes, it's catching one of our co-founders right after stepping off the main stage for a hi-five. 🤝

This is what RAISE is built for.

[Signal Week (formerly Paris Blockchain Week) @ParisBlockWeek]

We already dropped the news: Chain of Events is joining @hyvegroup.

But announcements only tell half the story, so our founders Charlie Meraud (@CharlieMero) and Michael Amar (@amarmic) sat down with John Furrier (@furrier) at The Cube, from @NYSE, to talk about what this means for Chain of Events, Signal Week, @RAISESummit, and @MACHINASummit, and what comes next.

The short version: the team stays, the formula stays, and everything gets bigger. This is meant for scale.

RAISE Summit is doubling. MACHINA is expected to grow three to four times its 2026 size. The Hyve Group brings Fintech Meetup into the same week as Signal Week, and US expansion is already on the roadmap.

But not everything is changing. The founding team, the formula that made the events successful, the content, the people, and the communities we have built around Signal Week, RAISE Summit, and MACHINA Summit remain exactly what they are.

The founders put it best: they are insiders of the industries they build for. The Hyve Group gives them the infrastructure to take that expertise global without losing what makes these events work.

This isn't an exit; it's the moment our founders stop building alone and start building at a scale big enough to match the industry we've always believed in.
Signal Week. Paris. July 6 and 7, 2027. The best is very much still to come.

[RAISE Summit @RaiseSummit]

What if the company that brought AI to the world has already moved past the way the world uses AI?

At RAISE Summit, @sk7037, Head of Industrial Compute at @OpenAI, shared something that reframes where we actually are in this transition.

Inside OpenAI, chat is no longer how the work gets done. Nearly the entire company now produces its output through Codex, working through an agentic interface rather than a prompt box. The team that built ChatGPT doesn't use ChatGPT the way you do.

The results are measurable. Model releases that once took 6 to 9 months now ship effectively every single month.

And the scaling picture is more nuanced than the headlines suggest. Pre-training scaling laws still hold — that hasn't slowed. What's changed is where the gains are coming from. Synthetic data, post-training, and test-time compute through reinforcement learning are now doing as much heavy lifting as pre-training itself.

If the people building the frontier have already changed how they work, the rest of the industry is next.

[Nasdaq Exchange @NasdaqExchange]

Nasdaq was at @RAISESummit in Paris, France — a city built on grand engineering. We asked top leaders across the industry: What's the Eiffel Tower of AI infrastructure?

From the bottlenecks slowing down progress to the breakthroughs that could unlock what's next, here's what @NelsonGriggs [@Nasdaq], @NetAppCEO [@NetApp], @AndrewdFeldman [@Cerebras], Travers Nisbet [@p0], Gareth Davies [@Okta], Tim Davis [@Modular], @RodrigoLiang [@SambaNovaAI], @theduncanclark [@Canva], @pirroh [@Replit], @May_Habib [@Get_Writer], @jainarvind [@Glean], and @RobertWachen [@Etched], had to say.

[RAISE Summit @RaiseSummit]

RAISE Summit is joining @hyve_group.

Three years ago, RAISE started with a single conviction: AI deserved one room where its entire value chain comes to do business. Not the biggest room. The one where things get decided.

Eric Schmidt called us the fastest-growing AI & Tech conference in Europe, and perhaps in history. In 2026, we raised the bar: 9,000+ attendees from 90 countries, 350+ speakers, 200+ sponsors, nearly a third of our buyers from the C-suite of Fortune 1000, CAC 40, FTSE 100, DAX and S&P 500 companies.

Today, we're announcing the next chapter.

RAISE Summit, alongside our sister events MACHINA Summit and Signal Week, is joining Hyve, the global B2B events group behind HLTH, Shoptalk, and Fintech Meetup.

Why now? Because momentum like this deserves the strongest possible foundation. Hyve brings world-class commercial and operational infrastructure, and the most effective curated 1:1 meetings programme in the industry, 50,000+ double opt-in meetings at Fintech Meetup alone, now coming to RAISE.

To every sponsor, partner, and attendee who has been part of this: you didn't just attend RAISE. You built it with us.

2026 was beyond anything we imagined. 2027 has already started.

Specialized intelligence just became a $17.5 billion idea.

Last week @lqiao made the case on the RAISE Summit Master Stage. This week @FireworksAI_HQ announced a $1.5B Series D — $1B+ ARR, up 5x YoY, 40 trillion tokens served daily.

Her argument: efficiency means specializing the tool to its value. "We don't drive a Ferrari to grocery shopping."

[RAISE Summit @RaiseSummit]

The race to AGI might not be won by the best model. It might be won by the best chip stack.

At RAISE Summit, @CharlieKawwas, President of @Broadcom, shared a striking view from inside the frontier labs: the first company to fully integrate GPU, XPU, and CPU into a single agentic AI platform could be the first to reach AGI. Four to five frontier labs are racing toward exactly that.

The scale backing this race is staggering. Charlie Kawwas revealed that one major lab alone is putting in 1.5 gigawatts of capacity this year, and expects that number to climb past 5 gigawatts next year. His read on demand: insatiable.
