Inaugural launch of the Cambridge AI × Robotics Initiative — dialogue, showcases and strategic connections. A CTW2026 Fringe event.

The Cambridge AI × Robotics Roundtable is the inaugural launch event of the Cambridge AI × Robotics Initiative — a new international collaboration platform rooted in Cambridge, with the ambition to build a vibrant and connected AI × Robotics ecosystem.

Designed for AI innovators, technology companies and established industries exploring transformation through AI and robotics, the Initiative connects emerging AI capabilities with robotics platforms, manufacturing expertise, real-world applications and global industry.

Aligned with Cambridge Tech Week's focus on turning deep technology into real-world impact, the Roundtable brings together founders, researchers, AI and robotics companies, industry leaders, universities and ecosystem partners to explore practical pathways from software and algorithms to physical deployment and commercialisation.

Rather than a traditional conference, this invitation-led event is designed around meaningful dialogue, robotics and technology showcases, and strategic connections — creating opportunities for technology collaboration, business transformation, commercialisation and international partnerships.
