Tech Events in Paris 2026-2027: the complete calendar for IT and AI decision-makers

Introduction

Paris stands out more than ever as a European tech capital, driven by a booming AI ecosystem, a dynamic cybersecurity scene, and data events that punctuate the year. For executives, CIOs, CTOs, and innovation leads at French companies, keeping track of this calendar has become a strategic lever: benchmarking market solutions, identifying technology partners, and anticipating the trends that will shape tomorrow's AI projects.

At Qolaig, we help companies deploy custom AI agents, and these events are all opportunities to feed our market watch and our Workshop → Build → Run methodology. Here is our selection of the Paris tech events not to miss between September 2026 and August 2027.

July 2027: the week Paris becomes the capital of AI and digital finance

• RAISE Summit / RAISE Week — early July 2027, Carrousel du Louvre and Station F, Paris. The world's leading AI summit returns to Paris for a new edition, with its usual highlights: an international hackathon, a closed-door CxO Summit, and the MACHINA Summit dedicated to physical AI and robotics.
• Signal Week (formerly Paris Blockchain Week) — July 6-7, 2027, Palais des Congrès, Paris. The historic event dedicated to blockchain and Web3 is evolving into an institutional summit for the digital asset economy, co-organized with RAISE Summit around the convergence of AI and on-chain infrastructure.

These two closely timed events make early July 2027 a strategic week for every player in AI, digital finance, and technology infrastructure.

Why this calendar matters for French companies

These events are not simply trade shows: they are accelerated observatories of the trends that will shape AI projects over the next 12 to 24 months — business process automation, AI agents in production, data governance, AI system cybersecurity. For a company planning to deploy its first AI agents or structure its data roadmap, these events are an opportunity to:

• Benchmark market solutions and vendors before launching a project;
• Identify technology and integration partners suited to their sector;
• Stay current on regulatory developments (the AI Act, digital sovereignty) and technological ones (agentic AI, physical AI);
• Meet peers facing the same scaling challenges.

At Qolaig, we track these events to refine our Workshop → Build → Run methodology and offer our clients AI agents aligned with the state of the art.
