🧠 AI Builders Zurich 5

Zurich's quarterly gathering for the people building AI — capped at 250 people. 250 people in one room: founders, operators, big tech engineers, researchers, and the city's most ambitious students. Hosted at Google's Zurich HQ on Europaallee. This is the AI meetup in Zurich. It runs quarterly, and it's built around one thing: meeting the people actually doing the work. The vibe: 🍕 Free food & cold drinks, all night 💰 Presentation of the newly funded AI startups in town 💬 A panel session you actually want to hear from 🤝 Plenty of time before and after to connect Who's been in the room: Past editions have brought together engineers and researchers from Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, Anthropic, Meta, Apple, Microsoft, IBM Research, Prometheus, teams from Hugging Face, ElevenLabs, Isomorphic Labs, Poolside, Databricks, and Exa, and founders and operators from across the Zurich scene like Lakera, nunu.ai, Cerrion, Flexion, mimic, Cradle, LogicStar, Lightly, Rapidata and more, plus a deep research bench from the ETH AI Center, as well as ETH Zurich professors. If you're building in AI in Zurich, this is your room. Important: Curation is what makes the room work: registration is open, but approval isn't automatic. We read every request and prioritise people building or researching in AI, up to venue capacity. If you're here to sell services or source deals, this isn't the room.
