What. A. Night. 🔥

Last night, Capgemini Applied Innovation Exchange - San Francisco was the place to be for AI in Silicon Valley... over 400 guests. The line formed half an hour before the doors opened.

We co-hosted Llama Lounge #21, the official TechCrunch Disrupt side event, alongside Jeremiah Owyang and the longest-running AI startup series in the Valley.

⭐ 10 cutting-edge AI startups pitched live — from Agentic AI and design automation to trust, safety, and robotics simulation.
⭐ 100+ founders, 20+ investors, and our partners and clients filled every corner of the room.
⭐ Airbus and Altria joined as reverse-pitching clients, sharing their current AI challenges — and were immediately surrounded by founders eager to collaborate.
⭐ Our Halloween-ready robot roamed the floor, connecting guests and stealing the spotlight.

This is what it means to be an AI-powered business and technology transformation partner... bringing clients, startups, and technologies together in a living ecosystem that sparks real innovation.

Capgemini’s San Francisco hub once again proved itself as one of the most vibrant AI connection points in Silicon Valley.
