ETH AI Center

An inspiring day at comes to an end!

We at the ETH AI Center were proud to co-host a packed and high-energy AI Stage. From early morning until late afternoon, we heard from brilliant voices shaping the future of artificial intelligence in Switzerland, Europe, and beyond.

It all started with a major announcement on the main stage: the launch of the first strategic partnership between the Swiss National AI Institute (SNAI) and Swisscom.

From there, our AI Stage took off:

– The Swiss National AI Institute (SNAI)
Scarlet Schwiderski-Grosche (EPFL AI Center) gave insight into the mission of SNAI and its role in research, industry, and startup innovation.

– How to get a VC to invest in your company?
Antonia Albert (Founderful) shared investor perspectives and practical advice for founders navigating early-stage fundraising.

– AI Research vs. Fundraising
Milan Kuzmanovic, PhD (nextesy) spoke about the balancing act of scientific innovation and building a business.

– Funding AI Solutions for Sustainability
Panagiotis Martakis (irmos technologies AG) and Urs Stender (Bluelion) discussed the opportunities and challenges in applying AI to sustainability ventures.

– Aligning AI Governance with AI Operations
Yannick Merkli (LatticeFlow AI) addressed how companies can make AI development and deployment more trustworthy and accountable.

Huge thanks to our moderators and for guiding the conversations, and to everyone who joined us on stage and in the audience!
