KubeVirt in Practice & AI in QA: What Works, What Doesn't

Let's meet at the CNC meetup on Tuesday, September 15th, 2026, at 15:00 CET. Location: VSHNtower, Neugasse 6, 8005 Zürich Agenda: 14:30 – Door Opening 15:00 – Welcome, Intro, & Announcements 15:05 – How to: securing your clusters, Benjamin Koltermann, cenroq AG 15:35 – 5 minutes pause 15:40 – Paddelbuch – How Kiro Changed the Game, Chris Bingham, CTO Switzerland, Fujitsu 16:10 – 5 minutes pause 16:15 – A swiss, cloud-native Alternative to Vercel and Heroku - Christian Blättler, zeitlos.software 16:45 – Final words, networking & apéro \-\-\- Talk 1: Benjamin Koltermann, cenroq AG How to: securing your clusters Everyone wants secure Kubernetes clusters. Almost no one can achieve this. In this talk, we’ll show how Kubernetes can be attacked despite seemingly secure configurations, and how these security gaps can be identified and closed. \-\-\- Talk 2: Chris Bingham, CTO Switzerland, Fujitsu Paddelbuch – How Kiro Changed the Game In 2024 I presented the history of paddelbuch.ch - serverless geospatial information system built on AWS to support the Swiss paddle sports community. Then Kiro arrived! So what happened next? What did I accomplish with Kiro? And how did one, unexpected, conversation at AWS re:Invent 2025 massively change the technical underpinnings of Paddelbuch? All these questions and perhaps more will be answered in this session. \-\-\- Talk 3: Christian Blättler, zeitlos.software A swiss, cloud-native Alternative to Vercel and Heroku Vercel and Heroku make it easy to deploy your apps but hard to leave. Lucity is my open-source take on the same developer experience, built on standard Kubernetes and Helm, with one hard constraint: you can eject at any time and keep running without it. I'd like to go deep on these decisions that are driven by the ejectability constraint of Lucity: – why Lucity has no Database and how it derives its entire state from Kubernetes and it's surrounding systems. – why Lucity discovery state lucity.dev/\ labels instead o

Claude in Financial Services At this event, our speakers will show you how they use AI in their daily work today. Expect concrete, real-world examples from the Swiss financial industry – and a few possibilities you may not have considered yet. Who this is for: decision makers and practitioners in Swiss financial services who want real-world Claude use cases from banks, insurers and fintechs. Who this is not for: students and people still exploring AI in general. This evening assumes you work in or for the finance industry.

Hosted by Nebius, Balderton Capital, NVIDIA September 17, 2026 · Zurich Robotics is moving out of the lab and into the real world. Join Nebius, Balderton and NVIDIA in Zurich for Momentum, an evening bringing together the founders, researchers, engineers, investors, and industry leaders building the next generation of robotics and embodied AI. Zurich sits at the heart of one of Europe’s most exciting robotics ecosystems — combining world-class research, exceptional engineering talent, and a growing community of companies turning advances in AI into intelligent systems that can perceive, reason, and act in the physical world. Momentum is designed to bring that community together. Expect candid conversations with leading robotics founders, rapid-fire spotlights from emerging companies, live demos, and plenty of time to meet the people building and backing the future of Physical AI. Agenda 6:00–6:30 PM — Doors Open, Drinks & Networking Meet fellow founders, researchers, engineers, and investors from across the Zurich robotics ecosystem. 6:30–6:45 PM — Welcome & Opening Remarks Brief remarks from the Nebius, Balderton, NVIDIA teams 6:50–7:30 PM — Building Robotics Companies at Scale A conversation with later-stage robotics and Physical AI founders on building, deploying, and scaling companies at the intersection of hardware and AI. Moderated by James Wise, Partner at Balderton Capital. 7:30–8:00 PM — Founder Spotlights Three to four emerging robotics or Physical AI founders, jointly moderated by NVIDIA and Nebius. 8:00–9:30 PM — Robotics Demos, Food, Drinks & Networking See technology in action, meet the teams behind it, and connect with founders, researchers, investors, and industry leaders from across the ecosystem. Who Should Join Momentum is for people actively building, researching, deploying, or investing in robotics, embodied AI, Physical AI, autonomous systems, computer vision, simulation, and adjacent technologies. We’re particularly excited to meet early-stage

Coding agents have moved fast, and most of us are figuring them out as we go. Some things work well. Some quietly create problems that only show up weeks later. A few short talks, then open discussion. The focus is practical: how to ship agentic code efficiently, what the pipelines around it look like, which tools hold up under real use, and what we can learn from each other. Speakers: - Boris Paskalev CEO, and Mark Müller, CTO, LogicStar AI - Marc Willhaus, Head of Software, optohive AG - We still have a speaker slot available if you'd like to share slides or a live walkthrough of your setup - 20 minutes or less. Everyone in the room is building something. Founders, technical co-founders, engineers and researchers whose hands are on the code. Places are limited, so we confirm registrations individually. If you have something you would be up for sharing, even informally, let us know in the form. It does not need to be polished. War stories are as useful as success stories.

The monthly morning run for Zurich-based builders, founders, and operators. Hosted by Daniel, ironman and founder of athletedata, the Builders Run series is about combining a solid workout with meaningful conversations: keeping the pace sporty, but relaxed enough to actually talk, connect, and exchange ideas. The route: We start quick warm-up to start (last chance for latecomers), then out towards Saffa Insel for a 8k at conversational pace: ~5:30–6:00 min/km, and we may split the group. Coffee after at newly opened Yappa Cafe for anyone with time, which is usually where the real catching-up happens, then back to building. Meeting point: Central.
