AI Innovation Summit Australia-Switzerland
Showcasing Switzerland & Australia’s AI Achievements – Independent Innovations, Converging Visions for Tomorrow!
Hosted in Perth by Innovate Australia in official partnership with the Embassy of Switzerland in Canberra, and organised as an official lead event to the Geneva AI Summit taking place in June 2027 in Geneva, the AI Innovation Summit Australia–Switzerland aims to strengthen connections between the Australian and Swiss innovation communities while showcasing WA as a hub for international innovation and collaboration.
Australia and Switzerland both have strong and diverse innovation ecosystems. The summit will explore areas where the two countries can learn from each other and collaborate, from artificial intelligence and advanced technologies to research, investment, industry transformation, and the commercialisation of new ideas.
The program will bring together perspectives from both countries, highlighting innovative companies, technologies, projects, and ideas. Through presentations, discussions, and networking, participants will have an opportunity to make valuable connections and identify possibilities for future business, research, investment, and technology partnerships.
The summit also provides a platform to discuss how innovation ecosystems develop, how talent and ideas move across borders, and how international collaboration can turn innovative ideas into meaningful real-world outcomes.
