​Talk 1

​Title: Swiss {ai} Weeks kick-off. Insights & Demos from the Hackathons
Speaker: Anna Hakobyan & Erin La, Kickstart Innovation
Description: Supported by ETH, EPFL, and government, Swiss {ai} Weeks debuted in 2025, scaling to 15 hackathons and 250+ events across 22 cities. Throughout the initiative, organizers and developers leveraged Google Gemini and Workspace to manage complex logistics and accelerate prototyping. Not just for operational speed, but to pressure-test real-world corporate AI readiness. This session covers key insights from this high-pressure environment, a live demo of a Gemini-built solution, and a practical playbook to move from experimentation to execution ahead of the September 2026 hackathon.

​Talk 2
