Swiss AI SME Circle 5

Our fifth event is hosted by the research staff of SUPSI at the Lugano campus.

A limited number of participants can take a tour of the CSCS computing facility from 10:00. We will inform you about this later, if you select the option to join the waiting list when registering. A stand-up networking lunch will be offered to our participants from 12:00.

Our main program will start at 13:00, and follow our established format of sharing the latest progress from the Initiative, presentations of new use cases, and facilitated group sessions. Hosted in collaboration with SUPSI research staff, SME Circle 5 will be a chance to connect local AI expertise and use cases to the national Swiss AI Initiative.

The Swiss AI SME Circle connects Swiss-based Small Medium Enterprise (SME PMO KMU) with advanced AI technology, fostering collaboration between businesses and researchers from ETH Zurich, EPFL, CSCS and SwissICT.
