About this event

Der Smartfeld EduAI Award ist die erste nationale Auszeichnung der Schweiz für Lehrpersonen der Sekundarstufen I und II, die Künstliche Intelligenz verantwortungsvoll und wirkungsvoll im Unterricht einsetzen. Als erster nationaler KI-Award für Lehrpersonen macht er sichtbar, was in Schweizer Schulzimmern bereits heute entsteht: innovative Unterrichtspraxis mit KI, die oft weit über das eigene Klassenzimmer hinaus inspirieren kann.
Sind Sie Lehrperson oder kennen Sie eine Lehrperson mit einem inspirierenden KI-Projekt? Dann helfen Sie mit, gute Unterrichtspraxis sichtbar zu machen.

Le Smartfeld EduAI Award est la première distinction nationale suisse destinée aux enseignantes et enseignants du secondaire I et II qui utilisent l’intelligence artificielle de manière responsable et efficace dans leur enseignement. En tant que premier prix national suisse dédié à l’IA dans l’enseignement, il met en lumière ce qui se développe déjà aujourd’hui dans les salles de classe suisses : des pratiques pédagogiques innovantes avec l’IA qui peuvent inspirer bien au-delà de leur propre établissement.

Decentralised Finance: How AI and Web3 can Reach the Unreached?

Doctors Without Borders, Geneva, Switzerland
In person

Humanitarian healthcare meets AI, Web3 & decentralized technology, in Geneva. Ebola outbreaks. Neglected diseases. Community health. Funding gaps. These are not theoretical problems. They are challenges faced by healthcare and humanitarian organizations every day. So the question is: Can emerging technology actually help solve them? The Crypto Valley Association Sustainability Working Group is partnering again with Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) for an evening bringing together humanitarian leaders, technologists, innovators, and finance professionals to explore what can move from concept to real-world impact. Following last year's decentralized healthcare event and the launch of our Decentralized AI in Healthcare report, this edition gets practical. We'll examine where decentralized AI, health data, and Web3 can - and cannot - address real healthcare needs. One evening. Three perspectives. Keynote 1 – The humanitarian reality Lai Ling Lee Rodriguez, MSF’s Deputy Director of External Affairs and Field Operations, will share MSF’s perspective on the Ebola outbreak in the DRC and the funding gap facing humanitarian response, followed by a fireside chat with Stephanie Fuchs, Co-Chair of the CVA Sustainability Working Group. Panel: What can actually be built? A 45–50 minutes conversation connecting humanitarian needs with technology, Web3, communications, and funding. Panel speakers: Matthias Chardon, Finance Director, Médecins Sans Frontières Switzerland Pablo Castillo, CEO, Chain4Travel Alvaro Cosi, Communications & Fundraising, UNHCR Moderated by Michele Soavi, Co-Chair, CVA Sustainability Working Group Keynote 2 – The technology opportunity Christopher Fabian, Digital Inclusion Lead at UNICEF, will share insights on innovation, digital infrastructure, and technology for global challenges, followed by a fireside chat with Sitara Jabeen, Philanthropy Diversification Lead at MSF Switzerland.

The Cross-Border Table: AI & Robotics Founder Gathering (China Connect Summit Side Event)

Schlieren, Switzerland, Schlieren, Switzerland
In person

An evening of dialogues and networking before China Connect Summit main conference Two of the world's most active ecosystems in AI and robotics — China and Europe — are moving at different speeds, with different instincts, toward different bets. China is scaling embodied AI and humanoid robotics at a pace and volume few markets can match. Europe is building differentiated, deep-tech approaches with a different relationship to capital, talent, and go-to-market. This evening isn't about pretending those differences don't exist — it's about treating them as the point. We're bringing founders, investors, and operators from both ecosystems into the same room, because the most interesting conversations happen at the friction: sparks on disagreements and differences, or synergies on capital, technology, or markets. This isn't a casual mixer. Attendance is reserved for individuals and companies aligned around a simple bar: proven technology, real deployments, and strong ambition to scale globally. 📢 Event Program 5:30 - 6:00 Arrival & Networking 6:00 - 6:05 Event Opening 6:05 - 6:15 Opening Keynote 6:15 - 6:30 Spotlight Intros with Chinese companies 6:30 - 7:00 Fireside chat: how to build a global companies 7:00 - 7:30 VC Panel: cross-border collaborations 7:30 - Drinks & Open Networking 👤 Who You'll Meet Chinese AI & robotics leaders with live demos European AI & robotics founders building for global markets VCs and institutional investors active in cross-border deals Family offices and allocators exploring the space 🎟️ Participation Open to China Connect Summit attendees and invited guests.
