OUR MAIN MISSION

Our mission is to enable ground-breaking developments in AI and Data Science by fostering collaborations between all those stakeholders, which are quickly and easily established and implemented in concrete projects with tangible impact.

SWITZERLAND
WE ARE AN AI NATION

The close connection with cutting-edge research is a decisive factor why renowned tech giants such as IBM, Google, Microsoft or Disney conduct their AI research in Zurich.

Switzerland hosts world-renowned universities and research institutions at the forefront of AI, including ETH Zurich, EPF Lausanne, IDIAP, ZHAW, HSLU and IDSIA in Lugano.

Relative to its population, Switzerland holds the world’s highest number of AI patents, highlighting its immense human capital and potential for innovation.

Switzerland’s contributions to the field of scientific AI have the most significant impact worldwide as they are the most cited publications. Although China publishes more papers in absolute numbers, its contributions are less relevant in comparison.

Large corporations and industrial companies in Switzerland are making substantial corporate investments in AI and robotics, contributing to Switzerland’s AI capabilities.

Swiss-based companies enjoy substantial benefits from streamlined technology transfer processes and efficient support from both the cantons and the federal government.
