​Don’t miss your chance to meet the visionaries behind the breakthroughs and get inspired by the future of AI & Robotics.

​The startups pitching are participating in the Startup Camp (AI & Robotics), powered by Innosuisse and managed by Swissnex, a two-week camp featuring toolbox sessions, fireside chats, networking events, and valuable introductions.
