Abu Dhabi, UAE • November 18–19, 2026
Intelligence Infrastructure Summit 2026
Building the Physical Foundations of Artificial Intelligence.
The global gathering where governments, investors, infrastructure developers and technology leaders shape the next decade of AI infrastructure.
Compute. Energy. Data Centres. Capital. Sovereign AI.
AI is no longer just software. It is becoming the world's largest infrastructure buildout.
Why This Summit Exists
Most AI conferences discuss models. This Summit discusses what makes AI possible.
The future of artificial intelligence will be determined not by software alone, but by the physical systems that power it—compute, energy, connectivity, data centres, semiconductors, cooling and capital. Intelligence Infrastructure Summit brings together the organisations building this new global economy.
Why Now
Two days of strategy, execution, innovation and deal-making.
The programme moves from high-level market vision and national priorities into infrastructure delivery, enterprise adoption, technical innovation and commercial partnership opportunities.
