Artificial intelligence is no longer an emerging disruption; it’s a production force re-architecting the enterprise in real time. From compute infrastructure to agentic intelligence, the future is being built on hybrid, high-performance systems, and that future has a Parisian address this summer.

RAISE Summit 2025, held at the Carrousel du Louvre in the heart of Paris, brings together 5,000-plus attendees, more than 250 speakers and a global mix of founders, operators and venture capitalists who define what’s next for AI. With sessions covering infrastructure, cybersecurity, finance, healthcare, marketing and the agentic economy, RAISE Summit is a proving ground for AI in action, according to theCUBE Research’s John Furrier.

“If you care about how agent-driven AI, modern data stacks and resilient infrastructure are remaking the enterprise, this is the Summit to watch,” he said. “Every conversation we’re streaming is designed to give operators, builders and investors the signal, not the noise.”

Join theCUBE + NYSE Wired on July 8 and 9 for exclusive conversations from the show floor of RAISE Summit.

“NYSE Wired is an open-source, mission-driven technology ecosystem. The mission is quite simple: to be an access point for entrepreneurs to connect to the world,”Furrier said. “TheCUBE Studios in Palo Alto and NYSE create a wired ecosystem connecting Silicon Valley to Wall Street.”

Furrier and Brian J. Baumann, founder of NYSE Wired and director of capital markets, technology, at NYSE, will be on site at RAISE Summit to track AI infrastructure breakthroughs, enterprise-grade deployments, sovereign compute strategies and early signals from the investment frontier.

From capital markets to compute stacks: Day one dives into AI’s economic engine

TheCUBE’s coverage of RAISE Summit kicks off with conversations that underscore one of the most urgent themes in AI: building the infrastructure and business models that can scale with it. From macroeconomic market outlooks to graphics processing unit economics and data pipelines, day one’s guests bring together perspectives from finance, security, developer ecosystems and platform innovation.

“RAISE is going to be a great conference,” Furrier noted. “Everyone’s going to be there. It’s going to be essentially an international kind of tech, Wall Street, Silicon Valley, New York tech scene, going to Paris and integrating it with the Europeans.”

Vultr, a registered trademark of The Constant Company LLC, will take the keynote stage with a cloud-native vision for AI infrastructure. Kevin Cochrane, chief marketing officer at Vultr, will explore how enterprises can adapt their infrastructure stacks to meet the demands of AI workloads, from GPUs to application platforms. Cochrane outlined a phased roadmap for this evolution in a recent interview with theCUBE, emphasizing that modern AI-ready infrastructure depends on distributed computing models, inclusive talent development and open-source ecosystems built with local compliance and global creativity.

“Stage zero is all of the initial build-out of infrastructure for generative AI to train all your large-scale foundational models, which mostly occurs in core geographies,” Cochrane said. “We’re just moving to stage one, where enterprises will start deploying for production inference, open-source LLMs, to start adding efficiencies to all of their enterprise workflows. Stage two, we need to go global.”

TheCUBE’s coverage will follow every angle — market signals, compute design, platform growth and enterprise AI strategy — streamed live from Paris. Here’s a look at the day one guest lineup:

• Kevin Cochrane, chief marketing officer of Vultr, a registered trademark of The Constant Company LLC, will talk about why sovereign cloud is critical for scaling AI.
• Michael Harris, vice chair and global head of capital markets at the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), will focus on how the world’s leading exchange views the macroeconomic outlook and initial public offering market for AI investments.
• George Kurian, chief executive officer of NetApp Inc., will talk about why storage is the unsung hero in AI pipelines and how data gravity is driving Kubernetes innovation.
• Betty Junod, chief marketing officer of Heroku Inc., will discuss building and launching apps with Heroku.
• Naveen Rao, vice president of artificial intelligence at Databricks Inc., will address post-large language models and the move toward agents.
• Paul Bloch, co-founder and president of DataDirect Networks Inc., will focus on exascale storage built for AI, and how high-performance compute is aligning with training workloads.
• Benoit Dageville, co-founder and president of product at Snowflake Inc., will talk about semantic layers, governance clarity and how Snowflake is positioning data platforms for the generative AI era.
• Jonathan Siddharth, chief executive officer of Turing, will elaborate on how the global developer cloud helps companies solve AI talent bottlenecks.
• Vipul Ved Prakash, co-founder and chief executive officer of Together Computer Inc., will delve into open-source models as public goods, with a vision for a new frontier in cost-efficient AI training.
• Nyanya Joof, regional vice president of UK Markets at Motive Technologies Inc., will drill down into AI and fleet management, exploring how to drive operational AI through telematics and real-time logistics.
• Rajeev Ramaswami, president and chief executive officer of Nutanix, Inc., will focus on the hybrid multicloud playbook for agentic AI and operational sovereignty at a global scale.
• Alison Wagonfeld, chief marketing officer of Google Cloud, will talk about the company’s AI trends and technology.

The future of AI infrastructure: Founders and firepower take the main stage on day two

Day two of theCUBE’s coverage of RAISE Summit keeps the momentum rolling with a headline fireside chat featuring Daniel Dines, founder and chief executive officer of UiPath Inc. and Furrier. Together, they’ll explore how robotic process automation laid the foundation for enterprise AI and what it means to transition from automated tasks to fully autonomous systems, according to Furrier. Specific areas of focus will include agentifying software robots, managing scale through platform control planes, navigating hyperscaler partnerships and understanding Europe’s competitive edge in AI governance.

TheCUBE’s coverage will also spotlight a new generation of builders — from GPU cloud disruptors to AI energy innovators — bringing fresh takes on scale, sovereignty and real-world deployment.

“RAISE isn’t just another Paris tech soirée,” Furrier said. “It’s where capital markets intersect with the AI tech builders who actually ship code.”

Here’s who’s joining theCUBE for day two coverage of the Summit:

• Andrey Khusid, chief executive officer of RealtimeBoard Inc., dba Miro, will explain how collaborative canvases evolve into AI copilots and how teams will work and create differently in the era of generative collaboration.
• Andrew Feldman, founder and chief executive officer of Cerebras Systems Inc., will talk about the future of inference, U.S. data center expansion and what comes after AI clusters.
• Robert Brooks, founding team member and vice president of revenue at Lambda Inc., will deliver insights into transitioning from retail GPUs to full-stack clusters and the rise of specialized AI cloud providers.
• Mike Mattacola, general manager, international, at CoreWeave Inc., will address demand, verticalization and whether we’re already in the age of the new hyperscaler.
• Roman Chernin, co-founder of Nebius Group N.V., will outline what sovereign cloud deployment entails in a fractured geopolitical landscape.

These speaker lineups are just the beginning. Expect candid insights, unexpected moments and a few surprise drop-ins as theCUBE goes live from the floor of the Carrousel du Louvre.
