Grid to Chip

AI infrastructure is built by people. We know who they are.

Who matters in AI infrastructure, and where they meet.

Grid to Chip recognises the people and companies shaping AI infrastructure, from the grid to the chip, and brings them together through focused industry summits.

Built by VOSTAD, organising industry events since 2013.

Announced is not energised.

AI infrastructure is defined by what gets secured, built and energised — not what gets announced. Grid to Chip INTEL is being built to track that journey: the project, the site, the power, the organisations behind it and what changes along the way.
