EuroTech Summit 2026
The next wave of AI won’t be won by scaling chatbots.
It will be won by the teams building the foundations underneath: new compute paradigms, embodied intelligence, physical AI, and the energy infrastructure to power it all.
Europe has the talent, the research, and increasingly the capital.
What it needs now is conviction, and coordination.
As part of EuroTech Summit 2026, this headline session brings together founders and operators building beyond the current AI cycle, alongside the people shaping Europe’s technological future.
Hosted during VivaTech week in Paris, the EuroTech Summit is the annual gathering of the EuroTech Federation: a network of 150 deep tech fellows across 15+ countries working on what comes after the current AI wave.
This edition of EuroTech Summit is sponsored by our friends over at coprod. They are on a mission to Make Hardware Simple through a unified standard for robotics components. Their stack unlocks 10x faster development with 10x less funds, or 100x increase in capital efficiency when building a new robot.
Speakers
Léopold Treppoz - Chief of Staff, @AMI Labs
Francesco Sciortino - Co-Founder & CEO @ Proxima Fusion

On the table
Where Europe has a real edge beyond LLM scaling
What it takes to build deep tech companies at global scale from the EU
What role regulation and institution play in making sure we build world-class leaders
The next decade: who wins, who gets left behind, and why
Panel + Q&A + Networking Cocktail
AMI Labs
The Paris-based frontier AI lab co-founded by Yann LeCun, developing next-generation world models beyond LLMs, with a record-breaking $1B+ seed round to build real-world intelligence systems.
Proxima Fusion
Munich-based fusion energy company spun out of the Max Planck Institute for Plasma Physics, building the first commercial stellarator power plant. Backed by a €130M+ Series A & €2B German State investment, Proxima is developing high-field, quasi-isodynamic stellarators to deliver clean, baseload fusion power, positioning Europe at the frontier of next-generation energy infrastructure.
microagi
Data and deployment infrastructure for embodied intelligence, microagi works on on-site deployment solutions based on novel data sources, enabling robots to learn from scalable real-world interaction instead of teleoperation.
EuroTech Federation
EuroTech Federation is a pan-European community of emerging deeptech researchers and builders.
We believe in a united Europe. Not just in culture or history, but in our collective ability to shape the future.
We are convinced that deep tech is the most powerful tool to advance humanity. In a rapidly changing world, Europe cannot afford to lag behind. Leading in technology is no longer optional.
That's why we are building a space where Europe's brightest minds can connect, learn and collaborate, before they even realize they are future founders.
