Now in its second year, GITEX AI Europe returned to Messe Berlin on 30 June–1 July 2026 as one of Europe’s largest tech, AI, and startup events. Sector coverage spanned AI & Robotics, Cloud Computing, Data & IoT, Cybersecurity, Digital Cities, Finance & Digital Assets, Industry 4.0 & Autotech, Intelligent Connectivity & Telecom, and Green Tech. The scale of Europe’s AI ambition is substantial, and GITEX AI Europe’s agenda reflected it directly: the European Commission’s InvestAI initiative aims to mobilize €200 billion in AI investment through 2030, building on 19 AI factories already operational across the bloc and up to five AI gigafactories planned, with data center capacity set to triple within five to seven years. HPE showcases sovereign AI factories and agentic IT operations at GITEX AI Europe As a Gold Sponsor at GITEX AI Europe in Berlin, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) cast itself as a key enabler of enterprise AI adoption, highlighting its vision for AI factories built on secure, scalable infrastructure and accelerated computing. HPE holds a Leader position in the 2025 IDC MarketScape for Worldwide Private AI Infrastructure Systems. HPE’s presence built on its broader collaboration with NVIDIA, detailing developments in HPE Private Cloud AI, a co-engineered platform designed to simplify the deployment of generative and agentic AI while supporting sovereign AI requirements and large-scale GPU-based environments. HPE also pointed to AI-ready networking and security through its integrated HPE Aruba Networking and HPE Juniper Networking portfolio, reflecting growing enterprise demand for high-performance, zero-trust AI infrastructure. In addition, HPE promoted the integration of HPE GreenLake with HPE Morpheus Software to automate and orchestrate hybrid cloud environments, reinforcing its strategy of delivering unified, agentic IT operations intended to help organizations manage AI workloads while addressing governance, compliance, and data sovereignty requirements across Europe.
