Confidential AI Summit at GTC Berlin

​Join us for the Confidential AI Summit at NVIDIA GTC Berlin 2026

​Fortanix & NVIDIA Ecosystem partners invite you to an exclusive Confidential AI Summit on building AI that is trusted, secure, and sovereign. As organisations scale AI, end-to-end security is as critical as performance. Models, prompts, and sensitive data must stay protected wherever AI runs: on-premises, in AI Factories, or in the cloud.

​Be part of insightful conversations at the intersection of confidential computing and trusted AI, covering the challenges of deploying foundational models on-premises, protecting data during inference, and scaling secure workloads across hybrid and sovereign environments.
