Beyond the square, into the vortex
This is not a typical award. What you build is extreme, precise, critical. The same intelligence on a fraction of the energy. If you are rewriting the rules of AI inference, come and show us.
Pre-registration commits you to nothing. It helps us prepare the ground with the jury.
Why enter
The right room
Global players from the US, Europe, MENA and Asia, in Geneva on 22 June 2027, alongside the Geneva AI Summit.
A new way to see AI
We want decision-makers, governments included, to see energy-efficient AI as a lever for competitiveness, not a cost to manage.
A jury with no agenda
Neutral ground in Geneva, an open and conflict-free process, and international experts doing the judging.
Pick your arena
Enter the category that matches your main energy saving.
C1
New physics
You don’t tune a chip, you replace the idea of one: photonic, in-memory, analog.
C2
Smarter chips
You make the chips we already have (GPUs, ASICs, memory) do more with less.
C3
Cloud AI
You make inference at scale cheaper to run, in model serving or at platform level.
C4
Local AI
You run inference on the device, at the edge, next to the user.
C5
Smarter orchestration
You get the result with less compute, through routing, agent harnesses or model cascades.
C6
Datacenter innovation
You make the datacenter itself more sustainable: cooling, heat reuse, water, siting.
Who it is for
Teams building AI systems, and the decision-makers who manage AI costs and energy.
