MIT Nanda at DAVOS
NANDA at Davos: Architecting the Internet of AI Agents
Date: June 20th
Location: Davos, Switzerland
Host: MIT Nanda,
Invited partners: Project NANDA
Event Overview
Join MIT’s NANDA at Davos for an exclusive session unveiling the next frontier in decentralized artificial intelligence: the Internet of AI Agents. NANDA, a pioneering initiative from MIT, is building the foundational infrastructure for trillions of autonomous AI agents to collaborate, transact, and learn across a truly decentralized web.
This event brings together global leaders, innovators, and researchers to explore how NANDA’s open-source protocols and registries are transforming the landscape of AI—from siloed services to a vibrant, agentic ecosystem.
What to Expect
Visionary Keynotes:
Hear from MIT researchers and industry leaders on why the world needs a new “Internet for AI Agents,” and how NANDA’s architecture solves the challenges of trust, privacy, and interoperability at scale.Live Demonstrations:
Experience hands-on demos of agent-to-agent protocols, decentralized registries, and real-world use cases—from automated supply chains to collaborative healthcare and finance.Panel Discussions:
Engage with experts on the future of agentic economies, knowledge pricing, trust layers, and the societal impact of distributed AI.Networking Opportunities:
Connect with fellow innovators, startups, and institutional partners shaping the next era of AI infrastructure.
Who Should Attend
AI leaders, researchers and engineers
Agentic Web ecosystem builders
Web3 and decentralized systems developers
Policy makers and technology strategists
Venture capitalists and innovation leaders
Anyone interested in the future of distributed intelligence
The next platform war is here. The Internet of AI Agents risks splintering into proprietary silos, leading to either incumbent oligopolies extracting monopoly rents or fragmentation that prevents valuable services from emerging. Immediate coordination on interoperability standards—for agent identity, discovery, and marketplace infrastructure—is crucial. Early movers who establish these rails will control future AI transactions; those who wait will be building on others' platforms or become irrelevant.
NANDA (Networked AI Agents in Decentralized Architecture) which originated at MIT aims to dismantle the four critical choke points within this ecosystem's infrastructure by focusing on consensus driven innovation: 'DNS', 'CA', 'Orchestration', and 'Attestation'.
What to Expect
Architecture discussions on networks built for agents, not retrofitted for them
Live NANDA NEST demonstrations showing policy-aware coordination and multi-agent transactions at scale
Off-the-record conversation with founders, investors, and infrastructure leaders
Access to the community building standards for the Agentic Internet
⚡ NEST Snapshot
NEST (Network Sandbox & Testbed) is Project NANDA’s unified environment for building, testing, and verifying autonomous AI agents at planetary scale. It’s where decentralized intelligence becomes measurable — a live, visual network connecting agents, registries, and clouds across the globe.
Inside NEST, developers and researchers can:
Launch & Monitor agent networks across regions (US, EU, APAC).
Simulate real-world interactions through safe, policy-aware sandboxes.
Benchmark ROI & Reliability for multi-agent systems in action.
Observe Global Flows of requests, responses, and trust across the NANDA Index.
NEST transforms abstract ideas like agentic coordination, policy routing, and sovereign AI into living, testable systems. It’s not just a dashboard — it’s a working map of the Internet of Agents.

Hosted by Project NANDA - SF Bay Area Chapter, this event brings together researchers, founders, and builders to explore the emerging landscape of Agentic Web— where autonomous AI agents transact, negotiate, and collaborate across digital economies.
About NANDA
NANDA is pioneering the foundational infrastructure for the Internet of AI Agents — enabling autonomous systems to interact, transact, and collaborate seamlessly.
NANDA employs a three-pronged approach: (i) Technology: Building technology, standards, and reference implementations through a collective of top minds. (ii) Social Mission: Working to maintain an open Agentic Web for innovators while ensuring safety for vulnerable populations. (iii) Venture Ecosystem: Fostering a wide coalition of founders and investors.
NANDA's development draws on proven MIT research in AutoML, split learning, privacy-preserving architectures, and decentralized coordination. Early partners in the coalition gain preferential access to emerging standards, reference implementations, and the academic-industry consortium that will influence the emerging frameworks globally.
