The AI Innovation Summit Australia-Switzerland, held in Perth on 2 September 2026, brings together leaders, researchers, entrepreneurs, investors and innovators from both countries to explore how AI and emerging technologies can drive innovation, prosperity and sustainable development.
Organised by Innovate Australia with the Embassy of Switzerland in Canberra and Swissnex, and serving as an official lead event to the Geneva AI Summit 2027, the summit highlights the strengths of both countries' innovation ecosystems.
Beyond technology, the event focuses on people, collaboration and real world impact. A key theme is trustworthy AI: how innovation can be developed and deployed safely, reliably, transparently and responsibly, aligned with societal values.
Through presentations and networking, participants will explore AI, research, investment and industry transformation, identifying opportunities for future partnerships, while international collaboration turns technological progress into meaningful outcomes for society and the economy

During the parliamentary autumn session and the Federal Parliament’s public open day, GESDA will present the interactive installation "Geneva Public Portal to Anticipation" at the Federal Palace in Bern, at the invitation of President of the Council of States Stefan Engler. The installation uses generative AI to enable visitors to create and explore visions of possible futures shaped by emerging science and technology. AI is therefore not only a topic of the installation, but also the tool that makes this experience possible. The Portal creates a space for dialogue between science, politics and society: inviting visitors to reflect on what new technologies such as AI could make possible, where their limits lie, and ultimately how we can collectively shape the futures we want to live in. The installation was first displayed at the Swiss Pavilion during the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Japan.

«Hack Apertus» is a hackathon series built around Apertus, Switzerland's fully open large language model. Running from October 2026 to May 2027, the series kicks off online from 1–16 October, bringing hackers and student cohorts from Swiss universities together to red-team the model, localise Apertus to Swiss dialects and values, and build early prototypes.
In the 6+ on-site hackathons across Switzerland that follow, teams solve challenges from partners and develop open, trustworthy blueprints for sovereign infrastructure across the public and private sectors. Top teams advance to the Grand Finals on 14 May 2027 in St.Gallen to compete for the main «Hack Apertus» Award, while other exceptional Apertus-based projects will be showcased.
All outputs and prototypes are open-sourced, and their deployment in real-world settings is actively supported to drive Apertus adoption.

An evening session on regulatory fragmentation as experienced by companies operating across jurisdictions, and on the mechanisms available for recognising equivalence between conformity assessment procedures. Participants examine why an AI system deemed compliant in one jurisdiction cannot automatically be deployed in another, and which practical instruments can reduce this friction — a question of particular relevance to smaller economies.

Swiss AI Safety Days is a two-day conference at ETH Zurich on 7 and 8 November 2026, in its second edition. With around 300 participants from ETH, EPFL and the frontier AI labs, around 30 leading AI safety organisations, this year’s event will be one of the biggest in Europe.
We believe that Switzerland, with its world-class universities, institutes and companies, is well positioned to meaningfully guide AI development towards a safe and responsible approach. Our goal is to guide more of the country's top talent into safety work. We have a proven track record: 80% of the participants at the 2025 edition left with concrete next steps for their careers.

Agentic AI has entered regulated finance faster than the rules governing it. A licensed Swiss firm now runs opportunity screening, due diligence, decision memoranda and client documentation with AI agents, and still answers to a supervisor, an auditor and a client. This working session brings supervisors, family offices, licensed managers, technologists and researchers around one table on two questions: who is accountable when an agent contributes to a regulated decision, and what record must survive it? Output: a short public Evidence Note for the Summit's Call for Issues. Chatham House rule, no products, no promotion.

At the GESDA Anticipation Summit, the Geneva Public Portal to Anticipation will offer participants an interactive way to explore how emerging science and technologies could shape our collective futures. Based on insights from the GESDA Science Breakthrough Radar®, visitors use generative AI to create and engage with visions of possible futures. The exhibition also provides a tangible link to the Geneva AI Summit 2027: AI is both a subject of anticipation and the tool that makes the experience possible, allowing participants to experience first-hand what generative AI can enable while critically reflecting on its opportunities, limitations and societal implications. In this way, the Portal brings key questions around AI and its governance into a tangible, participatory setting and invites reflection on how we can collectively shape the development and use of AI in ways that benefit society.

Through keynote addresses, breakout sessions and interactive workshops, participants will examine how large volumes of potentially sensitive data can be made available without compromising data protection and trust. The key lies in a «data space» approach – a controlled environment where only authorized parties can interact with decentrally held data in a previously defined manner.

HerImpact brings together women from leadership, technology, law, business and society to examine how human judgement, accountability and trust can be preserved in AI-supported decision-making.
Drawing on research from Japan and Switzerland as well as practical experience, the event connects different professional and generational perspectives. Together, speakers and participants will formulate five to seven “HerImpact Questions for Geneva”: questions that leaders and institutions should answer to ensure that trustworthy and responsible AI works in practice.
At its core is one question: When AI influences a decision, who remains responsible, and who can question, correct or stop it?

Leurs conclusions sont publiées côte à côte. Genève accueille la vitrine de l’IA, puis sa négociation ; le RAIWF apporte la pièce manquante : la délibération — et aucun sommet n’a été accueilli par une démocratie semi-directe.
