VAP Group, renowned for organizing major technology events, is preparing to launch the Global AI Show in 2025. The event will gather prominent AI visionaries and industry executives to examine the swift advancements in artificial intelligence.

Palantir's remarkable growth is attributed to major contract wins and stronger financial results. The company landed a $10 billion, ten-year contract with the U.S. Army and a £1.5 billion AI partnership with the UK defense sector, reinforcing its status as a pivotal force in military and intelligence, according to a

The Global AI Show, hosted by VAP Group, will convene specialists to analyze these developments. With Palantir's market value now on par with established defense firms like Lockheed Martin, the conference will delve into how AI is transforming industries and international relations. CEO Alex Karp has highlighted Palantir's focus on "decision intelligence," a strategy that merges data analysis with AI to enhance operational effectiveness. The event coincides with growing market excitement for AI, as companies such as Mastercard and PayPal also introduce AI-driven payment technologies to facilitate global trade.
Yet, despite the prevailing optimism, significant risks persist. Palantir's valuation is highly dependent on its execution. A recent decline in share price followed a U.S. Army memo raising concerns about the security of a battlefield system, illustrating the volatility of AI stocks tied to defense. Likewise, smaller players like BigBear.ai, whose shares have also jumped 300% in 2025, encounter obstacles in scaling and achieving sustainable profitability.
The Global AI Show aims to be a vital platform for discussing these issues. With Palantir's Q3 results expected on Nov. 3 and BigBear's on Nov. 10, investors will be closely watching to see if these companies can sustain their growth. For now, the surge in AI stocks reflects widespread confidence in the technology's transformative power—though, as one analyst remarked, "even outstanding companies can command steep stock prices."
