RAISE Summit 2026

The RAISE Summit 2026 took place on July 8 and 9, 2026 at Le Carrousel du Louvre in Paris, cementing its reputation as Europe’s most senior AI gathering. The 2026 edition brought together more than 9,000 attendees from 2,000 companies, with over 80 percent of participants at C-level, founder or investor level, and 350 speakers on stage.

The program ran on the 4Fs agenda covering foundation models, frontier research, friction and the future, with keynotes from leaders such as Arthur Mensch of Mistral AI, Scott Wu of Cognition and Daniel Dines of UiPath. Alongside the main stages, the summit hosted a global AI hackathon with 8,000 participants competing for 200,000 euros in prizes, plus the RAISE the STAKES startup competition with more than 10 million euros in funding opportunities for the winners.

An invitation-only CxO Summit for Fortune 1000 leaders ran in private spaces within the Louvre, built around curated strategic sessions and an AI-powered matching platform for one-to-one meetings. Backed by names like Sequoia, Google Cloud, Hugging Face, Groq and Snowflake, RAISE has become the deal-making platform of the European AI calendar.
