In many companies, the successful use of AI does not fail due to a lack of will or ideas, but rather because of the challenge of turning pilot projects into scalable and economically viable use cases driving adoption.


To enable Swiss companies to bridge that gap, our annual AI Event in Zurich brings together industry leaders and AI experts to share lessons, challenges, and practical experiences from across the Swiss market.


The event features:

  • Welcome & Introduction: Why AI scaling and adoption matters for businesses today
  • Keynote: Industrial Reality – Making AI Scale Effectively (with Andreas Rauch, Georg Fischer)
  • Panel: Overcoming AI’s Scaling challenges (with Christoph Schnidrig, AWS, and Dr. Florian Follonier, Microsoft)
  • Networking ApĂ©ro: Connect with fellow business leaders 

A Forum for Dialogue and Exchange


The event offers space for peer exchange during an apéro following the speakers, for participants to connect in an informal setting.


The AI Event is part of our commitment to fostering a trusted and practice-oriented AI dialogue among Swiss business leaders – not just to explore what’s possible, but to shape what’s next.
