As artificial intelligence transforms industries around the world, we're investing in the communities shaping its future. That's why we're delighted to welcome RAISE Summit, MACHINA Summit and Signal Week (formerly Paris Blockchain Week) to Hyve, establishing a new AI SuperVertical while strengthening our fintech portfolio through specialist crypto and blockchain expertise alongside Fintech Meetup.
The acquisition is our second since launching Ascend30, our value creation plan through to 2030.
Three market-leading brands
RAISE Summit is Europe's leading AI event, attracting more than 9,000 attendees from over 90 countries. The event is distinguished by the seniority of its audience, with almost a third of buyers coming from the C-suite of leading global businesses, alongside speakers including Eric Schmidt, Mark Cuban, Pat Gelsinger and Marcelo Claure.
MACHINA Summit is Europe's leading event dedicated to physical AI and robotics, bringing together founders, researchers, investors and policymakers shaping the next generation of intelligent machines. It extends the RAISE ecosystem beyond enterprise AI into the rapidly emerging world of physical AI.
Signal Week (formerly Paris Blockchain Week) is Europe's flagship blockchain and crypto event, welcoming more than 10,000 attendees from over 100 countries. Seventy per cent of attendees are C-suite executives, alongside speakers including Jeremy Allaire (Circle), Changpeng "CZ" Zhao (Binance), Adam Back (Blockstream) and Tim Draper (Draper Associates).
Supporting the next phase of growth
RAISE Summit and Signal Week will join Hyve's Acquisitions and Best Practice division, led by Lisa Milburn, where we'll apply our proven best practices to support the next phase of growth, including enhancing the customer experience through hosted meetings and Table Talks. The newly launched MACHINA Summit event will join the Global Ventures division, led by Katy Fryatt, where it will receive specialist support in its early phase of growth and establishment.
RAISE Summit, MACHINA Summit and Signal Week are category-defining brands built by exceptional founders who understood where their industries were heading before most others. Michael, Charlie, Henry and Hadrien have created communities with extraordinary reach, influence and momentum, and we're excited to welcome them to Hyve.
AI is entering a new phase of maturity, where innovation is increasingly shaped by collaboration between founders, enterprises, investors and policymakers. That makes this an incredibly exciting space to step into, and we're looking forward to helping these ecosystems continue to grow and thrive.
Meanwhile, we're also excited to strengthen our fintech portfolio, adding to our existing Fintech Meetup US and Europe events with specialist crypto and blockchain expertise.

I've always believed you need to be in an industry before you organise it. That's how we built our events: by understanding what these communities needed and creating the place where the people shaping them could come together. Joining Hyve marks an exciting new chapter. Their world-class team, proven growth strategy and deep expertise in building market-leading event brands make them the ideal partner to help us strengthen our events, serve our communities even better and realise our long-term ambition.
