AI Salon Eindhoven - Where Eindhoven’s AI community meets.
Where Eindhoven’s AI builders, researchers, investors and technology leaders meet.
On October 22, 2026, AI Salon comes to Eindhoven for its first edition, hosted at the AI Innovation Center at High Tech Campus Eindhoven.
Eindhoven is one of Europe’s most concentrated high-tech ecosystems and home to world-class expertise in semiconductors, deep tech, hardware, software, research and applied AI. However, technology alone doesn’t create progress.
People do.
AI Salon Eindhoven brings together the people building, investing in and deploying the next generation of AI.
Instead of endless panels and seminars on the next hype in AI, expect an evening of personal conversations, practical insights and meaningful connections between founders, researchers, investors, builders and technology leaders.
Speakers
For our first edition, we’re bringing together perspectives from across Eindhoven’s technology ecosystem and beyond.

Who should join?
AI Salon Eindhoven is built for people actively shaping tomorrow:
Founders & entrepreneurs building AI-driven companies
Researchers turning new ideas into real-world applications
Investors looking for emerging technologies and ambitious teams
AI, product & technology leaders deploying AI inside organisations
Builders & engineers working on ambitious AI products and systems
You don’t need another event telling you that AI is changing the world. You need to meet the people actually changing it.
Why Eindhoven?
Few places bring together deep tech, semiconductors, hardware, software, research, capital and entrepreneurship as closely as Eindhoven does. Yet those worlds don’t always meet in the same room. AI Salon Eindhoven is designed to change that.
We are building a recurring meeting place for the regional AI community, and connecting the people developing technology with the people funding it, deploying it and turning it into companies.
Come meet the people creating what’s next.
