CogX

Connect. Advise. Co-Create.

CogX is returning through cogx.global — celebrating over a decade exploring the greatest transformational opportunities of our time. Since 2015, CogX has hosted 1,000+ events, attracted 100,000+ attendees and featured 4,600+ speakers.

CogX offers serial founder-level strategic advisory for technology companies navigating the rapid changes as coding assistants and AI agents mature — including network activation, pitch preparation, rehearsals and on-the-ground support across a four-week programme.

CogX operates across four pillars:

• CogX Studios — Fast-paced content shows featuring innovators discussing technology, policy and business. Programmes include The Innovator's Take, Icons, 20/20 and CogX Explains.
• CogX Salons — Intimate invitation-only gatherings of 30–80 participants focused on single topics, from AI production ROI to sovereign AI infrastructure.
• CogX Awards — Established in 2017, recognising impactful companies and leaders in AI, enterprise transformation, climate innovation and more. Past honorees include Geoffrey Hinton, OpenAI and Darktrace.
• CogX Labs — An incubator of AI-native companies, leveraging the TwinStack platform and access to 100,000+ community members. Current ventures include Ridian and Neevie.

Neevie

Neevie is a voice-first personal networking agent designed to maximise return on investment at professional events. Most events are a triumph of optimism over reality — Neevie identifies the 1% of events and attendees genuinely worth your time and gives you a concrete plan for event success.

Neevie is not an event platform. It does not run events. It helps you win at them.

Being spun out of CogX Labs.

Ridian

Ridian provides strategic advisory and brokerage for the AI infrastructure market — a sector seeing $600 billion in investment in 2026, projected to exceed $1.15 trillion by 2027. There is no transparency, no map, and uncertainty everywhere. Ridian connects asset holders with buyers and helps capital deployers find available capacity.

Powered by the TwinStack platform, Ridian maintains a live knowledge graph of the AI infrastructure ecosystem, tracking provenance and separating observed evidence from derived insights.

Currently a venture inside CogX Labs, about to spin out.

TwinStack

TwinStack builds Cognitive Sector Twins — models of entire industries that reveal intelligence unavailable from any individual source. The most consequential dynamics in any sector are invisible to any individual participant. TwinStack creates panoramic views of industrial ecosystems as living models, surfacing insights derived from complete sector visibility.

TwinStack is the internal technology platform of CogX Labs, combining structured data and LLMs to create Cognitive Sector Twins. It powers both Ridian and Neevie.
