The Zurich AI Summit 2026

The Zurich AI Summit 2026 will bring together AI leaders, founders, investors, and enterprise decision-makers for an evening focused on practical AI adoption and industry transformation.

The speaker lineup includes Harita Byluppala of Novartis, Fernanda Weiden of Caju, and Rahul Chillar of Nemetschek Group, bringing perspectives from healthcare, fintech, and enterprise software. Hosted by Startup Network Europe at startup space by IFJ in Schlieren, the event is designed to connect professionals working on real-world AI applications rather than purely academic research.

The summit is part of Startup Network Europe’s growing European AI event series. The organizer has hosted more than 300 events globally and attracted over 124,000 attendees across its startup, technology, and innovation programs.

The Zurich AI Summit last year, organized by Startup Network Europe, have gathered around 380 AI and business leaders for focused networking and expert-led discussions, making the Zurich AI Summit a valuable opportunity for founders, operators, investors, and AI practitioners looking to build connections within Switzerland’s fast-growing AI ecosystem.
