Ambrosia, Bloom Energy execs to discuss AI infrastructure at TC Disrupt 2026
TechCrunch Disrupt 2026 has added a joint session featuring Ambrosia Energy CEO Ben Longmier and Bloom Energy SVP Bill Thayer to its Smart Systems Stage. The conversation, slated for later this month, will focus on opportunities created by the AI infrastructure boom.
Ambrosia Energy, which has not previously appeared in StartupReader’s directory, has described itself as a provider of power solutions for computing facilities. Bloom Energy, a publicly traded company, has long offered fuel-cell technology for industrial and commercial use. Their shared appearance could indicate a shift in how energy providers are thinking about AI workloads.
The session follows TechCrunch Disrupt’s recent programming updates, which now center on AI-era questions, as noted in a 2 October guide. Past coverage from the event included discussions on AI deployment challenges (28 September) and AI’s impact on venture capital (24 September). This will be the first session to address the energy and infrastructure side of AI growth.
No details on potential collaboration between Ambrosia and Bloom Energy have been announced. The discussion may explore how different companies are approaching AI’s power demands—or it may simply highlight the broader trend.
