Swiss AI Summit 2026

The Swiss AI Summit (SWAIS) is the leading European AI business platform for decision-makers, innovators, and leaders making the transition from AI strategy to actual implementation. The 2026 edition takes place at the Kunsthaus Zurich and is built around four sector-focused thematic blocks, a main stage, and eight specialized workshops.

From strategy to execution, in the heart of Europe

The Swiss AI Summit was founded by Timea Nagy as Switzerland’s business-oriented AI platform for decision-makers, founders, and experts. The event explicitly focuses on the gap between AI hype and actual business implementation, with the central question being: where is the bottleneck, and how do you solve it? In 2026, the summit marks a new phase with the launch of the Swiss AI Summit Membership, transforming the platform into a year-round community featuring targeted workshops and roundtables. Additionally, a new edition of the Swiss AI Magazine will be published.

Four sectors central

The 2026 program is divided into four thematic blocks: Finance (risk modeling, automation, fraud detection), Healthcare (AI in healthcare and diagnostics), Manufacturing (industrial AI, predictive maintenance, supply chain), and Business & Strategy (governance, scalability, responsible AI). In addition to the four sector blocks, there are eight specialized workshops and in-depth sessions on government and the public sector, cybersecurity, quantum technology, and defense. The event runs from 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM and concludes with a networking dinner.

For whom?

Enterprise executives, CDOs, CTOs, founders, policymakers, and AI practitioners from finance, healthcare, industry, and government who want to understand, compare, and accelerate concrete AI implementations.
