China Connect Summit - AI & Robotics Founder Drink
AI & Robotics Founders Drink Europe Meets China Zurich, Switzerland | Evening, October 1, 2026
The best introductions rarely happen on a stage. They happen after — over a drink, without a panel moderator, when a founder and an investor can just talk.
AI & Robotics Founders Drink closes out the China Connect Summit's Main Conference day: an informal evening bringing together the Chinese AI and robotics founders who demoed and spoke earlier that day with the European AI & Robotics founders, investors, operators, and builders in the room. No agenda, no pitches on a clock — just good company, good drinks, and the kind of conversation that starts real relationships between China and Europe.
