GITEX AI EUROPE 2026 is a two-day technology and artificial intelligence event taking place at Messe Berlin in Berlin, Germany, on 30 June and 1 July 2026. It positions itself as Europe’s largest tech and AI event and is designed as a meeting point for startups, enterprises, investors and governments.
The event is the European offshoot of the global GITEX platform, which has long been associated with large-scale technology trade fairs. In Berlin, the 2026 edition broadens that scope with multiple programme strands: GITEX AI EUROPE, AI Everything Germany, GITEX Cyber Valley Europe, North Star Europe and GITEX Quantum Expo Europe. Together, these formats point to a programme centred on artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, deep tech, quantum computing, cloud infrastructure and climate tech.
According to the event’s description and supporting pages, the forum is not limited to product showcases. Its stated focus includes the practical deployment of AI, digital sovereignty, cross-border collaboration, and the wider social and industrial implications of emerging technologies. The audience is broad but clearly professional: business leaders, scientists, policymakers, investors, startups and technology suppliers.
The format combines conference sessions, keynotes, expert panels, live demonstrations and networking. VisitBerlin describes it as a two-day forum at Messe Berlin’s South Entrance, running from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., and emphasises discussions on ethical and economic questions linked to future technologies.
Media and institutional coverage underline the scale of the event. The U.S. Commercial Service notes that the 2025 edition featured 1,400 exhibitors from more than 100 countries, while the European Digital Finance Association highlights the presence of 750 startups and 600 investors. That scale suggests an event that is as much about deal-making and international contact as it is about technology presentation.
