🌍 Governing AI for the World We Want 🌍

The 6th AI Policy Summit concluded successfully in 2025!

The AI Policy Summit brought together a growing global expert community to foster cross-sectorial and cross-regional collaboration in AI policy, and has been recognized as a leading AI policy event in Europe.

Set up in 2019, by RegHorizon and ETH Zurich’s Center for Law and Economics, the Summit leverages Switzerland’s unique positioning as a global hub for innovation, its unmatched reputation as a neutral and pragmatic country, hosting top-tier academic institutions, international organizations and businesses.

This year was a reaffirmation again, bringing together top-tier academic institutions, international organizations, and businesses to shape the future of AI policy!

We were proud to be one of the flagship events of the newly launched Zurich AI Festival 2025 - a celebration of innovation, technology, and the future of AI, under the partnership of Canton of Zurich and organised by Greater Zurich Area and ETH AI Centre.

Together, these events created momentum for the years ahead.
