Opening Night 🎉 

Forget AGI and chatbots; we’ve officially entered the age of agents. Far beyond standard LLMs, AI agents are embedding into everyday apps to independently solve real-life problems and handle complex tasks. Join Manus AI Co-founder and CPO Tao Zhang - who pioneered agents - to explore why the shift to autonomous agents matters more than the latest foundation model, how it will change daily life for billions, and why the race to control the agent interface is the battle to become tech's next dominant giant.

The age of agents

From Anthropic’s historic IPO filing to sharp swings across global tech stocks, the AI industry has reached a defining inflection point. As markets demand genuine enterprise adoption and real-world value over speculative hype, how do we build what comes next? Bringing together key architects of the next era, this panel tackles what AI looks like when the dust settles.

The future of AI

Cars that take to the sky. Embodied AI that walks among us. Robots serving our coffee. The future isn't approaching; it's already operating - in China that is. Join us for an exclusive, first-of-its-kind showcase bringing China’s most advanced next-generation robotics and aerial mobility to Europe. Step beyond the horizon and witness the technology shaping tomorrow, before it reaches the rest of the world!

Welcome to tomorrow

Get ready to witness a showcase of tomorrow's industry leaders, as innovative startups pitch their disruptive ideas and cutting-edge technologies. You'll get a fast-paced, high-energy session packed with groundbreaking concepts, all designed to capture your attention and potential investment.
