AI Trends 2026

Discover the most important AI trends for 2026: from agentic AI and AI sovereignty to smaller reasoning models. Book keynote speaker Remy Gieling for your event.

The AI revolution is accelerating in 2026 at a pace most organizations do not see coming. In this keynote, Remy Gieling takes you through the breakthroughs that matter right now: from humanoid robots entering factories and warehouses, to personal AI agents autonomously executing tasks on your behalf through platforms like OpenClaw. You will learn why the shift from generative AI to agentic AI represents the largest transformation since the arrival of the internet — and what this concretely means for your organization.

Remy shares insights drawn from conversations with technology leaders at OpenAI, Nvidia, Anthropic, and Tencent in Silicon Valley and China. He reveals the strategies behind the AI race between the US, China, and Europe and translates them to the European business context. From the explosive growth of open-source models and the rise of reasoning AI, to the impact of the EU AI Act and its first obligations that took effect in 2025: you will gain a clear picture of what is happening now and what to expect over the next 1,000 days.

This is not a dry trend list. Remy combines the latest developments with compelling examples: companies like Meituan delivering 60 million meals daily using drones, over 250 Chinese car manufacturers investing in autonomous mobility, and the rapid rise of AI agents in office environments worldwide. You will hear what frontrunners do differently, which technologies are truly breaking through, and which hypes you can safely ignore.

After this keynote, you will know exactly which AI trends are relevant to your sector and how to act on them — starting today. Featuring concrete predictions, practical takeaways, and the sense of urgency needed to stay ahead.
