At GITEX AI Europe 2026, Alexander Gerfer, CTO of the Würth Elektronik eiSos Group (right), discussed with moderator Massimo Marioni, formerly an editor at Fortune, where the real limits of artificial intelligence development lie.

Massimo and Gerfer agree: The limits to expansion lie in the energy supply and the underlying components.

Gerfer (right): “The most important innovations are often the ones no one sees.”
