June-11-2026 – Tech For Good — Shaping AI for Real-World Impact.
AI is reshaping our economies and our lives faster than most companies or institutions anticipated. But behind the spectacular announcements and eye-watering valuations, a fundamental question demands an answer: are we shaping AI — or is it shaping us?
Tech For Good Shanghai 2026 works that question through four concrete panels:
🌱 Environment — AI’s energy and water demands are already enormous, and they’re only growing. How do we power that appetite without destroying the planet? And beyond its own footprint, can AI become a genuine tool for environmental good — helping industries decarbonise, optimise resources, and accelerate the transition? We’ll hear from researchers, companies, and startups on both sides of that equation.
💰 Finance & Markets — The hundreds of billions flowing into AI raise hard questions: is this a bubble? Does capital concentration among a handful of hyperscalers create wealth or dependency? We believe there is a path — one where investment flows toward AI that creates lasting value, reaches the markets that need it most, and builds sustainable businesses beyond the current handful of winners.
⚖️ Governance — The rules governing how AI is used, how our data is protected, and how infrastructure is managed are not just a compliance question — they are a strategic one. Large companies, and AI-native startups are on the front line of choices that will shape AI governance for years to come.
🧠 Human Intelligence — Agentic AI is arriving fast, and it will transform how we work, learn, and receive care. Rather than fear that shift, this panel explores how AI deployed thoughtfully in health and education can extend what humans do best — and ensure the benefits reach everyone, not just the few.
Experts, researchers, large companies, and startups from the French Tech ecosystem — together, in one room.
