Building at the frontier of AI

​In the week of NVIDIA GTC Berlin, we're gathering founders and entrepreneurs at Merantix AI Campus for the questions that actually matter right now: what it takes to build in Physical AI, where agentic systems and open models are heading, and who's shaping the next generation of AI companies.

​We'll open with a founder panel, then move into an interactive unconference (as we like to call it) where the room sets the agenda across three tracks: Physical AI, Agentic AI and open models, and an open format for whatever you want to dig into.

​Throughout the morning, NVIDIA's Startup Ecosystem and Inception team will be on site to connect with founders directly, talk through what it takes to build and scale, and help you get closer to compute, credits and go-to-market support.

​The morning will culminate in a live watch party of the NVIDIA GTC keynote with NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang.

​Expect sharp technical exchange, new connections, and plenty of space to shape the conversation yourself.
