Founders and CEOs
Meet the investors and enterprise buyers who decide your next round and your first big contract, in one place. Hear how the leading humanoid and robotics companies are approaching cost, safety and scale.
Why attend
Two days that save you months of meetings
The founders, researchers, buyers and investors shaping physical AI are spread across three continents for most of the year. For two days in July, they are on one floor in Paris.
Who you’ll meet

What you’ll get, by role
Find your reason to be here
Investors
See dozens of physical AI companies on one floor, watch their robots work rather than reading about them, and compare notes with the founders and operators who know what’s real.
Enterprise and operations leaders
Find out what deployment actually involves: the costs, the integration work and the results from companies already running robots in factories, warehouses and the field.
Researchers and engineers
Go deep on robot learning, simulation, foundation models and hardware with the people publishing and shipping the work. Then build on real robots at MACHINA FACTORY.
Policymakers
Understand where the technology is heading and what industry needs from regulation, from the people building it.
Why now
Physical AI is leaving the lab
542,000
industrial robots installed in 2024
Worldwide installations were more than double the number ten years earlier.
$18.8bn
raised by robotics start-ups in 2026
As of 22 June, already above the $14.1bn raised during 2021.
$38bn
projected humanoid market by 2035
Goldman Sachs Research’s forecast for the global humanoid robot market.
The money, the machines and the first real deployments have arrived together. MACHINA is where the people behind them compare notes.
What you’ll leave with
What two days add up to
- A clearer view of where physical AI is heading, from the people making the calls
- Introductions to the founders, buyers and investors you would otherwise chase for months
- Live demos of the robots and systems everyone is talking about
- The post-event recap deck and session highlights, to share with your team
