AI in the Real World: Industrial AI Networking Night

​Join us for an evening with people who are taking AI out of the demo and into factories, warehouses, ports and regulated industries. The German American Chamber of Commerce West is bringing together founders, engineers, operators, researchers and investors working on AI that has to run reliably in the physical and industrial world.

​The conversations will cover agentic workflows on top of legacy systems and self-hosted, sovereign AI. They’ll also cover robotics and computer vision on the shop floor, data foundations that make AI usable at scale, and governance for AI in regulated environments. If you’re building in any of these areas, or investing in them, you’ll find people here who are working on the same problems.

​This year the room also includes the RLP Ignite 2026 delegation. These are CEOs, CTOs and heads of digital transformation from twelve organizations in Rhineland-Palatinate, one of Germany’s strongest industrial regions, who are in Silicon Valley this week to build AI prototypes for their own operations. They are a good contact if you’re looking for pilot partners, customers or a way into the European market.

​Expect drinks, good food and conversations with people at the intersection of industry and AI, plus a short welcome from the hosts.

​Who should join: founders and engineers in applied AI, robotics and industrial tech; teams working on AI infrastructure, data platforms and on-prem deployment; AI governance and compliance specialists; investors and corporate venture teams; researchers; and anyone in the German-American business community curious about where hard tech is heading.

​Space is limited, so please register early.
