Geneva, known for its vibrant digital ecosystem and as a hub for digital governance, is poised to shape the next chapter of global AI cooperation. The summit will build on Switzerland's commitment to inclusive and multistakeholder AI governance, positioning the country as a global leader and constructive bridge-builder in shaping AI's future. The event will feature discussions on the challenges of AI, opportunities to meet industry leaders, and the chance to discover innovative projects.
The summit will be held back-to-back with the ITU's AI for Good Global Summit, ensuring a comprehensive dialogue on AI governance. The Road to Geneva initiative invites organizations worldwide to host independent pre-events, enriching the global dialogue ahead of the summit. Additionally, a Call for Issues will be launched in autumn 2026, inviting stakeholders to share their perspectives on key themes related to global AI governance.
While the exact modalities for participation are being finalized, the summit promises to be a high-impact gathering with carefully curated attendance. The Swiss Confederation will contribute to more than half of the overall financing, with additional funding from sponsors across various sectors. This financial support underscores the summit's significance and the strong interest it has garnered globally.
