Sitegeist Robotics — raises €4 million for construction robots

Munich-based Sitegeist Robotics secured €4 million in pre-seed funding to commercialize AI-enabled robots for concrete renovation and infrastructure repair on real-world construction sites. The robots use advanced perception and adaptive control to handle complex geometries without prior digitization, directly addressing Europe's infrastructure repair backlog and labor shortages in concrete renovation. This represents early-stage deployment of purpose-built automation in a historically manual, capacity-constrained segment of infrastructure maintenance.

Big Tech to invest $650B in AI infrastructure in 2026, up 67% from 2025

Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft are projected to collectively invest approximately $650 billion in AI-related infrastructure in 2026, representing a 67% increase from $381 billion spent in 2025, according to Bridgewater Associates analysis. The spending will primarily target AI chips, servers, and data center infrastructure as compute demand continues to outpace supply. Bridgewater estimates this tech investment could add 100 basis points to U.S. GDP growth in 2026, double the 50 basis points contributed in 2025. This represents an unprecedented escalation in AI infrastructure spending that could reshape the technology landscape and broader economy.

Uber launches Autonomous Solutions — end-to-end AV commercialization platform

Uber announced Uber Autonomous Solutions on February 23, 2026, a comprehensive platform that provides APIs, fleet operations, regulatory support, financing, and customer service infrastructure to help partners commercialize autonomous vehicles. The service goes beyond marketplace access to offer end-to-end capabilities including complex venue management for airports and stadiums, diversified product development, and global policy support. Key partnerships include WeRide for robotaxi deployments in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Riyadh, with Uber already offering AVs through Uber Reserve in Phoenix and planning shared AV services with Volkswagen in Los Angeles. This represents Uber's strategic pivot from developing its own AVs to becoming the infrastructure layer that enables multiple AV companies to scale commercially.

OpenAI's $500B Stargate project stalls, turns to Google for compute power

The $500 billion Stargate AI data center project announced by Trump in January 2025, involving OpenAI, SoftBank, Oracle, and MGX, has stalled after six months with scaled-back plans to build just one smaller data center by year-end. OpenAI is scrambling for computing capacity, turning to rival Google while securing 40% of global DRAM production through deals with Samsung and SK Hynix. Oracle has pushed delivery schedules from 2027 to 2028 due to labor shortages and supply constraints. This represents a major setback for what was positioned as the largest AI infrastructure project in history.
