GTC Berlin 2026: Live Updates From NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang’s Keynote (opens in a new tab)

Founded in a tent near the Berlin Wall in 1980, the Tempodrom moved several times before settling near Anhalter Bahnhof in 2001. Its permanent home has since hosted concerts, galas and political events.

Today, it hosts a different kind of spectacle.

GTC Berlin runs three days, with more than 100 sessions on agentic AI, robotics, physical AI, open models and accelerated computing underway at STATION-Berlin down the road. Here, journalists, analysts and partners have gathered for the main event: NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang’s keynote.

At GTC Berlin’s First Stop, Barcelona’s Builders Put Physical AI to Work

Before NVIDIA's keynote in Berlin, the road to GTC began in Barcelona — with a royal palace, hundreds of developers and a very particular kind of robot.

The Palacio de Pedralbes rises up on land that once belonged to the Spanish royal family at the edge of Barcelona. On Tuesday morning, it belonged to builders.

NVIDIA's Build-a-Claw brought together hundreds of developers, researchers and AI enthusiasts from across Spain and Europe for a morning of hands-on AI at the historic site. Using open models and NVIDIA's platform, participants built robotic claw machines capable of picking up objects — physical AI, made from scratch, in a few hours. The crowd was rapt as it watched robotic arms perform grasping tasks, learn from their own failures and improve over the span of time it takes to eat breakfast.

For the crowd on hand it was an example of how to build and train robots using open models not just quickly, but safely and securely, something Spain's developer community is embracing. Check back for more robotic breakthroughs across Europe on the road to GTC Berlin.

NVIDIA Announces New Investments in France’s Startups (opens in a new tab)

Companies in France are deploying agentic computing across industries spanning space, financial services, the public sector and scientific research, demonstrating how the country’s ecosystem has moved from ambition to application.

France’s progress sits on deliberate groundwork.

The AI Action Summit in February 2025 and Choose France Summits in 2025 and 2026 anchored major compute commitments on French soil. What the ecosystem has built since then spans the full stack.
