Healo at RAISE Summit 2026, Paris
Infiheal's Founder and CEO, Srishti Srivastava, attended the RAISE Summit 2026 in Paris, held at the iconic Carrousel du Louvre. RAISE is the world's leading AI summit, where over 9,000 top AI leaders and C-suite executives from global corporations gather to learn, debate, and accelerate their AI transformation, bringing together the full ecosystem of enterprises, startups, investors, and public policymakers. For Srishti, it was less a place to pitch and more a place to listen, learn, and engage in conversations that shifted perspective.
A Summit Built Around the Right Questions
RAISE 2026 was described at its previous edition by Eric Schmidt, former CEO and Chairman of Google, as the fastest-growing AI tech conference in Europe, and maybe in history.The programme was structured around a four-part framework spanning Foundation, Frontier, Friction, and Future, with deep dives into sovereign cloud and trusted infrastructure, data provenance and synthetic pipelines, energy and compute dynamics, and AI governance and reliability at scale.
The summit opened with Mark Cuban and Anton Osika in an unscripted exchange on what building with AI actually looks like right now. From there, the conversation moved through Yann LeCun, Arthur Mensch of Mistral, Scott Wu of Cognition, and Guillaume Princen representing Anthropic, each approaching the same underlying shift from a different angle.The 2026 lineup also included Amin Vahdat, Google's Chief Technologist and SVP of AI and Infrastructure, alongside representation from OpenAI, NVIDIA, Oracle, and BlackRock, making it one of the most substantive gatherings of AI leadership anywhere in the world this year.
The room was no longer asking whether AI works. It was asking what it should be trusted to do. That is a question Infiheal sits with every single day.
The Session That Stayed With the Team
One moment stood out in particular. Olivier Goy, from the Institut du Cerveau, the Paris Brain Institute, spoke about the role AI played in his own personal journey, offering a clear, grounded reminder of what responsible AI is actually meant to do when it works as it should. For a team building AI for mental health, where the stakes of getting it wrong are deeply human, that kind of clarity is not just inspiring. It is instructive.
Building AI for emotional support and mental wellbeing means responsibility cannot be layered on afterward. It has to be part of the architecture itself, present in every design decision, every model evaluation, every clinical consideration. RAISE, more than most AI gatherings, created space for that kind of reflection alongside the ambition.
Into the Evening at Raise Your Glass with VivaTech
The day carried into the evening at Raise Your Glass, a private reception held on the Champs-Élysées in partnership with VivaTech, where Srishti was among a distinguished gathering of AI founders, global investors, industry leaders, researchers, and innovators. It was an evening of meaningful conversations, new perspectives, and connections that carried the momentum of the summit well into the night and well beyond Paris.
A Chapter in a Bigger Story
For Infiheal, RAISE Summit was another marker in what has been a rich chapter in Paris, from the IndiaAI Accelerator at STATION F, to Bharat Innovates with PM Modi and President Macron, to SantExpo and VivaTech. Being present consistently in the rooms where the global AI conversation is being shaped is not incidental to what Infiheal is building. It is part of how a mental health company earns its place at the table where the future of AI is being decided.
