Paris is about to become the world capital of artificial intelligence for two days. The RAISE Summit opens its doors on July 8 and 9, 2026 at the Carrousel du Louvre, with the stated ambition of turning AI promises into concrete applications for businesses. Founders, investors, researchers and public decision-makers are expected in large numbers, in a format designed for scaling up rather than theoretical speeches. Cointribune partners with the event and offers its community an exclusive discount code to attend this must-see event in the crypto, Web3 and AI ecosystem.
For its third edition, the RAISE Summit confirms its rise. According to the organizers, the event will bring together 9,000 expected participants, over 350 speakers and an audience composed of more than 80% C-level profiles, a level of representation rarely reached at a European tech event. This concentration of decision-makers makes it a strategic place to forge partnerships, raise funds or simply gauge the pulse of the global crypto ecosystem and AI.
This year’s program is organized around four main themes named Foundation, Frontier, Friction, and Future, intended to cover both technological fundamentals and regulatory frictions as well as future sector perspectives. Confirmed speakers include leading personalities from the global tech sector, alongside executives from major tech companies. The event co-founder, Hadrien de Cournon, sums up the summit’s ambition by explaining that RAISE was built on a unique conviction: the people shaping the future of AI need a place to act, not just to gather, highlighting that the challenge in 2026 is moving from pilot to large-scale production.
Beyond conferences, the summit offers immersive formats: AI hackathon, startup competition, and a premium networking section with founders and investors. This experiential dimension distinguishes the RAISE Summit from classic AI conferences and partly explains its growing appeal among institutional investors and private investors in the tech sector.
The novelty of the 2026 edition lies in the arrival of the MACHINA Summit, a format dedicated to physical AI and robotics, held alongside the main summit. While software AI has long captured most media attention, this new event illustrates how AI is moving from software to machines and systems, from robotics to autonomy. A strong signal for observers monitoring the fundamentals of the AI market and its extension towards concrete industrial use cases.
Purchasing a ticket for the RAISE Summit gives access to all discussions, networking sessions, and signals considered critical to anticipate the next industry changes. Three pass options coexist — Pro, Premium, and VIP Max — allowing to adjust the level of access based on each participant’s profile and objectives, whether for due diligence on emerging projects or simple strategic monitoring.
For the Cointribune community, this event represents a direct observation window on the growing convergence between artificial intelligence, digital assets, and decentralized infrastructures — an increasingly explored field by actors in the DeFi and Web3 space. Cointribune thus offers its readers facilitated access to the event with an exclusive promo code:
With ticket sales already advanced, the 2026 edition recently showed a filling rate of 86% according to organizers, so the window to secure a discounted pass is closing. It remains to be seen whether this third edition will confirm Paris as a true European hub of artificial intelligence facing competition from London or Berlin, or if the rise of the MACHINA Summit will reshape the sector priorities towards physical AI in future editions.
