From Megawatts to Gigawatts: Building the AI Factories | Lenovo x NVIDIA | RAISE Summit 2026
John Donovan, David Hogan, Roxanne Varza
John of Lenovo and David of NVIDIA are advancing a deep engineering partnership to construct gigawatt-scale "AI factories" that integrate hardware, power infrastructure, and software optimization to address a projected global capacity doubling. Their four-stage deployment framework, which spans from conceptual design to post-launch model orchestration, specifically targets the European market's urgent need to close a 12-month GPU access gap while navigating complex regulatory and energy constraints. By combining Lenovo's global manufacturing scale with NVIDIA's regional expertise, the initiative aims to transform Europe into a sovereign AI hub capable of leveraging unique domain data for next-generation robotics and industrial applications.

Are You Investing in the Workforce of Tomorrow or the Workforce of Yesterday?

Moderated by Greg Capelli, a diverse panel of experts from the U.S. Department of Labor, AT&T, and Goldman Sachs debates whether a genuine skills gap exists or if the issue stems from poor employer preparation and outdated hiring models. Participants cite AT&T's successful reskilling initiative and Goldman Sachs' cultural pivot as evidence that defining roles by competency rather than job title can drastically improve retention and adaptability among millennial workers. Despite these corporate successes, the discussion concludes that systemic challenges like the gig economy's shift of training costs to individuals and automation threats to low-skill sectors require new policy frameworks and a fundamental rethinking of benefit structures.
