AI is moving from answering questions to doing the work.
Robots are leaving laboratories and entering factories, logistics and everyday life.
New computing architectures are making AI dramatically faster.
Interfaces are changing.
Quantum computing is moving closer to commercial applications.
And somewhere in Silicon Valley, technologies that could transform entire industries are being built right now.
What does this mean for Swiss companies?
Silicon Valley × Switzerland 2027 brings together technology pioneers from Silicon Valley with leaders from Swiss industry for one highly focused afternoon in Zurich.
Not another AI conference. Not another day of PowerPoint presentations.
This is an opportunity to see, experience and discuss the technologies that could shape the next five years of business.
Meet founders, technology executives, investors and researchers working at the frontier of:
They will be joined by CEOs and technology leaders from leading Swissenterprises.
Understandwhat is coming — before everybody else does.
Silicon Valley × Switzerland is designed for decision-makers responsible for the future of their organizations:
→ CEOs & Board Members
→ CIOs · CTOs · CDOs
→ COOs & Business Unit Leaders
→ Heads of Strategy & Innovation
→ Technology & Transformation Leaders
Attendance is limited to create an environment where speakers and participants can actually meet and exchange ideas.
→ SEE IT. Hear directly from people building the next generation of technology.
→ EXPERIENCE IT. Interact with AIagents, robots, autonomous systems and new computing platforms.
→ UNDERSTAND IT. Separate technological reality from hype.
→ APPLY IT. Understand what these developments mean for your company, your industry and your strategy.
→ CONNECT. Meet technology pioneersfrom Silicon Valley and senior decision-makers from Swiss enterprises.

Meet fellow participants and get a first look at the technologies that will be demonstrated during the afternoon.
What will change between now and 2030? A short introduction to thetechnologies, companies and ideas emerging from Silicon Valley —and why they matter for Switzerland.
What are founders and investors seeing that established companies may still be underestimating? A provocative look at where technology is heading — and where the next major opportunities may emerge.
Silicon Valley Investor / Entrepreneur
The next AI transformation will not simply produce better chatbots. AI systems are beginning to plan, decide, coordinate tools and execute complete business processes. What happens when companies have thousands of digital agents working alongside people?
Silicon Valley AI Pioneer
No slides. We give an AI agent a real enterprise task — live on stage. Watch what happens.
The next frontier of AI is physical. Robots, autonomous vehicles and intelligent machines are beginning to understand and act in the real world. What happens when intelligence becomes embedded in machines?
Robotics / Autonomous Systems Pioneer
This is not a coffee break. For one hour, the conference becomes an interactive technology lab.
Meet the speakers. Network with other executives. And experience some of the technologies discussed on stage.
Meet a Humanoid
Interact directly with a new generation of humanoid robots. What happens when robots can see, understand instructions and operate in human environments?
Experience Autonomous
See an autonomous vehicle or delivery system in action and understand how Physical AI is moving from demonstrations into commercial deployment.
Give an AI Agent a Job
Bring your own challenge. Ask an AI agent to research a market, analyze information, prepare a management briefing or execute a business workflow. See how far autonomous AI has already come.
The AI Speed Challenge
Same question. Same AI model. Different computing architectures. Experience what next-generation AI inference feels like when speed changes by an order of magnitude.
Try the Next Interface
Experience emerging interfaces such as smart glasses, spatial computing and AI-native interaction. What might replace today's app-and-screen paradigm?
Swiss Deep Tech
Silicon Valley isn't the only place building the future. Meet selected Swiss researchers and deep-tech companies developing technologies with global potential.
AI is creating one of the largest computing infrastructure races in history. GPUs dominate today — but challengers and new architectures are emerging. What happens to AI when inference becomes dramatically faster and cheaper?
Silicon Valley Compute Pioneer
Technology is more convincing when you can see it work. A live demonstration of one of the technologies shaping the next computing cycle.
For twenty years, we have interacted with digital technology largely through screens, keyboards and apps. AI, voice, wearables and spatial computing could change that. What will the human-computer interface of 2030 look like?
Forget the hype. Where is quantum computing really today? Which commercial applications could emerge first? And when should companies begin preparing? A practical executive briefing rather than a physics lecture.
AI agents? Robotics? Energy? Biology? New computing architectures? Space? A Silicon Valley investor reveals where founders and venture capital are looking for the next technology wave.
Imagine:
· AI agents perform a significant share of today's knowledge work.
· Autonomous machines operate across logistics and industry.
· Computing intelligence has become dramatically cheaper.
· Technology competition between the United States, China and Europe has intensified.
A Silicon Valley entrepreneur, investor and Swiss business leaders take the stage for a candid discussion.
No presentations. No prepared speeches. Just one question:
We finish the conference with five conclusions. Five technology bets. Five questions every management team should be discussing.
10 minutes. Five slides. No hype.
Stay for drinks, food and conversations with speakers and participants. The Technology Playground remains open.
Meet founders. Talk directly with technology pioneers. Connect with executives from across Swiss industry.
Because sometimes the most valuable part of a technology conference starts after the presentations finish.
Silicon Valley has created many of the technology platforms thatchanged the world.
Switzerland has built some of the world's most successful companies through engineering excellence, precision, research and long-term thinking.
Silicon Valley × Switzerland creates a bridge between the people developing tomorrow's technologies and the executives deciding how they will be used.
We are delighted to organize Silicon Valley × Switzerland 2027 together with the Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce.
Swiss AmCham members will be invited to participate alongside senior executives from the High-Tech Connect network.
Together, we bring the Swiss-American business and technology communities into one room — connecting Silicon Valley innovation with Swiss enterprise leadership.
Executive Pass includes full conference access, Technology Playground, all live demonstrations, networking apéro, food and beverages.
Special conditions for Swiss-American Chamber of Commerce members will be communicated separately.
Silicon Valley × Switzerland is intentionally kept small to enable meaningful interaction between speakers, technology pioneers and participants.
Participation is subject to availability.
