Hyve Expands Reach by Buying Top AI, Robotics and Crypto Events

Hyve, a leading name in B2B gatherings, has recently added three major events to its lineup: RAISE Summit, Machina Summit and Signal Week. These meetings are the biggest in Europe for artificial intelligence, robotics that work with real objects and blockchain technology.

The new additions give Hyve a stronger foothold in fintech, especially with crypto and blockchain. The move comes after the company launched its long‑term growth plan called Ascend30, aiming to boost value through 2030.

RAISE Summit

• Attendance: More than nine thousand people from around ninety countries each year.
• Audience: Top executives from large corporations.
• Speakers: Former leaders of big tech firms and investors.

Machina Summit

• Focuses on the physical side of AI, such as robots that can move and interact with people.
• Brings together inventors, researchers and business leaders to discuss new machine systems that go beyond software.

Signal Week

• The premier blockchain event in Europe.
• Attendance: Over ten thousand attendees last year from more than one hundred countries.
• Features talks by major crypto founders and investors, many of whom sit on the board of large companies.

The founders behind these events—Michael Amar, Charlie Meraud, Henri Delahaye and Hadrien de Cournon—have built communities around emerging tech before they hit the mainstream. Their events already have a loyal following, making them a natural fit for Hyve’s portfolio.

Hyve plans to use its experience in organising events, marketing and operations to improve the attendee experience. It will bring technology‑driven meetings and special discussion sessions, while also helping the events grow internationally.

“AI is now at a stage where collaboration between creators, businesses and policy makers is key,” said the CEO of Hyve. “We look forward to helping these communities thrive.”

The acquisition also strengthens Hyve’s existing fintech events, adding expertise in crypto and blockchain to its lineup. The deal is part of Hyve’s strategy under Ascend30, following recent purchases such as LegalTechTalk and Virtuosi League.
