AI+X Summit

Overview

AI+X Summit is a Zurich-based event platform focused on artificial intelligence and data, rather than a conventional product company. It connects researchers, startups, companies, government participants, and the public through keynotes, panels, workshops, demonstrations, and exhibition areas. The event is associated with the ETH AI Center and collaborates with Swiss academic institutions, giving it a research-to-application orientation within Switzerland’s AI ecosystem.
