What MACHINA Summit does

MACHINA Summit is a single-day physical conference focused on physical AI, humanoids, industrial robotics, and embodied intelligence, scheduled for July 7, 2026 at Station F in Paris. The event targets founders, C-level executives, investors, and policymakers operating within the physical AI ecosystem, with an expected attendance exceeding 1,500 delegates of whom more than 70% hold C-level or investment decision-making authority. The 2026 program features 100+ speakers, including Jensen Huang (NVIDIA), Marc Raibert (Boston Dynamics), Carolina Parada (Google DeepMind), and Bill Gates, positioning the event as a flagship European convening for the embodied AI category.

The business operates a tiered ticketing model with prices ranging from €599 for early-stage founders to €4,599 for executive access passes, supplemented by sponsorship and media partnership revenue streams. A proprietary mobile networking application with AI-powered matchmaking is deployed to facilitate attendee connections, while the event is structurally integrated with the broader RAISE Summit ecosystem through bundled ticket packages. Following its 2026 acquisition by Hyve, MACHINA Summit now sits within a portfolio that includes RAISE Summit and Signal Week, and the organizer has signaled an expansion to a two-day format for 2027.

Go-to-market is built on a partner stack spanning EBG, France Digitale, Business France, Nordic Tech Week, and several national deep-tech ecosystems, providing inbound attendee acquisition and credibility signals across European founder and investor networks. Distribution remains heavily concentrated in a single day at a single venue (Station F), with monetization split between three pillars: delegate ticket revenue, sponsor and exhibitor packages, and media/partnership income.
