MACHINA Summit 2027: Europe's leading Physical AI event returns to Paris, 7–8 July 2027

After a sold-out debut at Station F, MACHINA Summit is moving to a bigger home. More than 1,500 people came to the first edition in July 2026. On 7-8 July 2027 the summit moves to the Palais des Congrès de Paris and grows to two days, more than 3,500 attendees and ten times the floor space. It brings together the builders, investors and industrial leaders taking physical AI from prototype to production.

PARIS, 10 November 2026 — The next era of AI will not live only on screens. It will build, lift, move and assemble. The race to get there is different from the race for chatbots and language models. It showcases what Europe has spent decades building: industrial depth, precision engineering and world-class robotics research.

“The physical AI revolution will not come all at once. It will happen gradually and then suddenly.”— Jim Fan, Director & Distinguished Research Scientist, NVIDIA, at MACHINA 2026

The first edition took place on 7 July 2026 at Station F, Paris, across a Master Stage and a Builder Stage. It gathered more than 1,500 attendees, 890 companies and 97 speakers, including Jim Fan (NVIDIA), Bernt Børnich (1X), Marc Raibert (RAI Institute), Carolina Parada (Google DeepMind) and David Reger (Neura Robotics), alongside leaders from Apptronik, Boston Dynamics, Agility Robotics, Skild AI and more.

What was discussed on stage could be seen on the floor: Boston Dynamics, LimX Dynamics, Schaeffler and AgiBot brought their robots on site for live demos, showing that physical AI is already working in the real world.

"The place is always defined by people and here are the best people."— David Reger, Founder and CEO, Neura Robotics

"MACHINA is the leading physical AI event for the whole of Europe, where I see a big future ahead of us."— Vicky Hu, Co-Founder, Centific

In 2027, MACHINA becomes more than a conference. The summit grows to two days, with 3,500 attendees and 200 speakers expected, and runs alongside RAISE Summit, the ROI platform for global AI, which drew more than 9,000 attendees in 2026.

Around the summit, MACHINA Week brings the people and companies shaping physical AI to Paris for a full week of programming, including:

• The MACHINA Gala at the Château de Versailles: a limited access evening for 500 leaders across AI and physical AI. It’s the kind of access the industry rarely gets, with founders, investors and the executives deploying robots at scale at one table.
• The MACHINA CxO Summit: an invitation-only forum for the executives deploying robotics at scale, with curated one-to-one meetings between buyers, builders and investors.
• MACHINA Factory: a builders’ activation where engineers ship physical AI products in front of the investors and enterprises ready to fund and deploy them.
• A week of curated gatherings across Paris: private dinners and salons at some of the city’s most remarkable addresses.

The first confirmed speakers for 2027 include Albert Pescheck (CEO, Bosch Digital Twin Industries), Matthieu Masselin (CEO, Wandercraft), Evan Beard (CEO, Standard Bots), Jonathan Hurst (Co-Founder, Agility Robotics), and Abhinav Gupta (Co-founder & President, Skild AI). More speakers, partners and programme highlights will be announced in the coming weeks.

"Physical AI is the next frontier, and the people building it should not have to fly to San Francisco or Shenzhen to meet each other. MACHINA 2027 will set the direction for embodied intelligence over the next 12 months.”— David Amar, Co-Founder, MACHINA

In July 2027, Paris hosts the defining week for frontier technology, and MACHINA is where it becomes physical.
