RAISE Summit 2026: Paris world capital of AI in July

Two days. This is how long it will take for Paris to become, at the beginning of July, the center of the AI ​​world. Yann LeCun, Arthur Mensch, Mark Cubanthe boss of robotics at Google DeepMind… all these little people gathered just a stone's throw from the Louvre Pyramid.

The RAISE Summit returns to the Carrousel du Louvre on July 8 and 9, and for its third edition, it has clearly reached a milestone. 9,000 participants. More than 350 speakers. A room filled with 80% executives. We are talking about nothing more and nothing less than the biggest AI meeting in Europe.

And Tremplin.io, which is partnering with the event, unlocks a code promo for its community.

The poster, first. Because that's what counts

Let's be frank. What makes a good summit is who gets on stage. The rest is just dressing up. And there, RAISE really hit hard.

Yann LeCunAlready. The pioneer of deep learning, the former chief AI scientist of Meta, a figure that many hope to see in real life at least once. Next to him, Arthur Mensch, the founder of Mistral, the pride of French Tech who stands up to the Americans. But also Mark Cuban, the star investor who owns the Dallas Mavericks. Eric Schmidt, the former CEO of Google. Jim Fan, who we're getting into on the research side at NVIDIA. And behind these headliners, more than 350 speakers: OpenAI, Anthropic, Oracle, BlackRock, McKinsey…the list is dizzying.

Now, watch out for misunderstanding. RAISE is not a parade of keynotes where you applaud politely before heading off to catch your train.

Everything is thought out to make things really happen. The program revolves around four axes: Foundation, Frontier, Friction, Future, and the co-founder Hadrian of Cournon doesn't hide it: he set up this event so that people who make AI have a place to actnot just to shake hands. Clearly, the idea for 2026 is to move away from pilot projects and move on to real, large-scale production.

And that's where the magic happens. When 80% of the room is C-level, founders, investors… we don’t go to RAISE to listen. We go there to raise funds, sign, feel where the market is going before others. This kind of density is not common in Europe.

Not just a summit – A whole week

Another thing that has changed: RAISE now extends well beyond its two days. An entire RAISE Week was built around it, from July 4 to 9, and Paris turned into the capital of AI for almost seven days in a row. A 48-hour hackathon with €200,000 up for grabs. A startup competition with 5 million euros, more than 1,100 candidates at the start.

And even a private dinner at the Château de Versailles, for a handful of happy few from the sector. Yes, Versailles…

The real piece of this edition, that said, is the MACHINA Summit.

The first major European event 100% dedicated to physical AI and robotics, it opens the ball on July 7 at STATION F, with big names like Carolina Parada (robotics at Google DeepMind) or Bernt Børnich, the founder of 1X.

Why pay attention to it? Because the AI ​​is coming off the screen. She enters the machines; humanoid robots, automated factories, autonomous systems. And it is exactly there, far from the buzz of chatbots, that the next wave is being prepared.

For those who follow crypto and Web3, moreover, the subject is not as distant as it seems. AI and digital assets are rapidly getting closer. Autonomous agents who transact on their own, tokenization, on-chain economies driven by models… we are no longer in theory. It’s building, right there, now. And frankly, it's better to see it happen from the inside than to discover it three months later in a thread.

Reserve your place without paying the full price

The crux of the matter remains: the ticket. Three plans, depending on what you're looking for — PRO, VIP, VIP Max. And Tremplin.io managed to scratch something for its readers:

• Code PARCTATRAISE26: -20% on PRO, VIP and MACHINA passes
• Code PARCTATRAISE26VIPMAX: -10% on VIP Max passes
• To be applied directly to the official ticket office

One element not to be overlooked: the last time I heard, the ticket office was 86% full. Translation: it goes quickly, and the good prices always go first. If you're still procrastinating, it's probably time to stop.

Ultimately, the real question remains. Will this third edition seal Paris' status as the European AI hub, while London and Berlin watch the train go by? Or is it robotics, carried by MACHINAwho will come out on top in the years to come? We'll see. But one thing is certain: at the beginning of July, it's in Paris that it's happening. Might as well be there.
