On March 31st, 2016, leading Silicon Valley and Swiss startups will present the latest IT trends and their impact on business and consumers during Silicon Valley Meets Switzerland, an event that aims to gather some of the brightest minds in the IT sector from both regions under one roof.

Hosted at the Technopark in Zurich, Silicon Valley Meets Switzerland intends to be a platform to share ideas and build strategic alliances and collaborations between individuals and organizations alike. Among the topics that will be covered: robotics made in Switzerland, the Swiss IT innovators and entrepreneurs, e-commerce, Big Data, innovation investments, among many others.

The schedule will be essentially divided into a morning agenda, which will focus on the Swiss innovation and IT sector, and an afternoon agenda, which will mainly cover IT innovations in Silicon Valley.

In the morning, Prof. Dr. Roland Siegwart from ETH Zürich will kick off the conference with a presentation on the Swiss robotics industry. The talk will be followed by live demos of a number of robots including Zurich Eye, a visual inertial navigation system; wingtra, an autonomous tail-sitter aircraft; ANYmotion, an advanced robot mobility; and many more.

Following the World of Robotics, The Swiss Fintech Innovations part will present Switzerland’s financial technology industry and its entrepreneurs.
