​Topic overview

​Why is the topic relevant?

​This side event explores the go-to-market for Physical AI — the emerging “brain” for robots that brings together scalable mapping, memory, reasoning, and coordination. Many of us understand the potential for robotics to revolutionise global industry, but in this session we’ll ask what it really takes commercially to deploy fleets of robots into SMEs and corporate enterprise environments to learn, adapt, and operate reliably in the real world.

​What’s up for discussion?

• ​What are the dynamics of the global robotics market?

• ​Who are the gatekeepers for technical integration and commercial entry?

• ​What makes more sense - displacing incumbents or partnering with them?

• ​If partnering - using them as sales channel partners or white labelling your product?

• ​How do you sell integrated software solutions to the industry without becoming an integrator yourself?

• ​How do you access the SME market without exploding CAC?

• ​Likewise how do you access high ACV enterprise contracts without getting stuck in pilot hell. Etc...

​Dream outcome

​Everybody leaving the discussion with a clearer idea of how physical AI for robotics can be commercially integrated into Europe's industrial base in a way that is compatible with corporate financial frameworks and VC-growth dynamics alike.

​Who should attend?

• ​Robotics founders & engineers shaping the next generation of AMRs.

• ​Investors and CVCs exploring autonomy, AI, and robotics opportunities.

• ​Industry leaders in logistics, agriculture, manufacturing, and defense.

• ​Researchers and curious minds eager to see how AI moves from the digital into the physical world.
