The AI Policy Summit advances to its seventh edition in 2026!
Under the auspices of the Secretary General of the Council of Europe,
"Mr Alain Berset"
Official pre-event for the Geneva AI Summit 2027
Set up in 2019, by RegHorizon and ETH Zurich’s Center for Law and Economics, the AI Policy Summit is recognized as a leading event in Europe and globally.
The AI Policy Summit leverages Switzerland’s unique positioning as a global hub for innovation, and it's unmatched reputation as a neutral and pragmatic country with demonstrated strength in multi-lateral diplomacy, hosting top-tier academic institutions, international organizations and businesses every year.
In addition, we are proud to be a flagship event of the 2026 Zurich AI Festival, for the second consecutive year, hosted by the Canton of Zurich and organised by the Greater Zurich Area and ETH AI Centre.
