We are co-organizing a robotics meetup in Berlin! On Day 1 of @deeptechweek Berlin! We will machines on site that demo Eg the VOLTRAC Thor. A fully autonomous tractor – it lifts 4 tons & drag 8 tons. A beast of a machine. Join if you like food & robots!

Reminder: we are moving to one megawatt racks in Intelligence Factories.
— Nina Schick (@NinaDSchick) 22 avril 2026
We need more energy, a lot of it.
We also need a lot more people.
Like electricians: 150,000 are mission critical just to serve the ~90GW of Intelligence coming online in the next two years. https://t.co/5AK8AmtGWPReminder: we are moving to one megawatt racks in Intelligence Factories.
