🇫🇷 Recap: Paris Demo Night @ SAP
The AI Collective Paris Chapter just wrapped up an unforgettable Demo Night at SAP HQ, bringing together the brightest minds in agentic AI and horizontal infrastructure. It was the room where orchestration engines, inference layers, and industry-ready AI agents collided, with demos spanning HR, procurement, supply chain, sales, and legal.
What Went Down:
Live Demos: Six handpicked startups took the stage, each pushing the boundaries of AI infra and agentic systems. The energy was electric as founders had just four minutes to pitch and three for Q&A.
Awards Night: The community voted for the standouts—FlexAI took home Best Technology for their AI workload platform, Tellers.ai wowed with Most Creative for their video editing agentic platform, and 2501.ai earned Best Overall with their SRE agent that prevents and repairs server outages.
Networking Mixer: Over 100 founders, CTOs, engineers, VCs, and operators packed the SAP skyscraper, sharing ideas and forging new partnerships against the stunning Paris skyline.
Why It Mattered:
This Demo Night was about more than just showcasing new tech: it was about building community. Attendees had the opportunity to see the latest breakthroughs, provide real-time feedback, and connect with innovators from across Europe and beyond. The event proved that Paris is a hub for AI, with networks and opportunities that span the globe.
A huge thank you to everyone who joined, demoed, and made the night a success, especially our partners at SAP and the unstoppable Paris AI Collective team. Stay tuned for more events, including the upcoming BLACKBOX.AI hackathon and the Paris GenAI Summit!
