Power up your AI infrastructure! A first look at the Smart Systems Stage agenda at TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 will spotlight AI power constraints, fusion, and grid modernization on its Smart Systems Stage in San Francisco.

The lineup includes sessions on commercial fusion, utility grid upgrades, and the electricity demand from AI data centers.

Speakers come from Commonwealth Fusion Systems, Helion, Inertia, Heron Power, WeaveGrid, Ambrosia Energy, and Bloom Energy.

The agenda shows how AI growth is increasingly running into power and grid-capacity limits.

That makes energy infrastructure a growing priority for startups, utilities, and investors.
