Zurich AI Festival
Zurich AI Festival is a flagship initiative by the ETH AI Center and Greater Zurich Area, co-created with the Canton of Zurich, Zurich Tourism, and leading partners from academia, industry, government, and the local AI ecosystem.
The Zurich AI Festival is a week-long celebration of artificial intelligence, technology, and innovation taking place across the Greater Zurich Area. It brings together leading researchers, entrepreneurs, artists, and policymakers to explore how AI is shaping our world — from science and business to society and culture.
Rooted in one of Europe’s strongest AI ecosystems, the festival highlights Zurich’s role as a global hub for responsible and human-centric AI. Across more than 25 events, participants engage in talks, workshops, exhibitions, and interactive experiences that spark dialogue and collaboration between academia, industry, and the public.
At its core, the Zurich AI Festival promotes responsible AI development, encouraging transparency, inclusivity, and ethical innovation. The program features flagship events such as the AI+X Summit, start-up showcases, public installations, and cross-disciplinary discussions that connect technology with art, design, and policy.
By bringing diverse voices together, the festival aims to democratize access to AI knowledge, inspire new ideas, and foster partnerships that drive sustainable technological progress. Whether you’re a professional, a student, or simply curious about AI, the Zurich AI Festival offers a space to learn, connect, and imagine the future — together.
