About This Report
This report consolidates findings from two input streams, co-hosted by GenAI Zürich and the ICT4Peace Foundation, gathered to inform Switzerland’s strategy for the AI Summit Geneva 2027:
1. An invite-only roundtable held at GenAI Zürich 2026 on 1 April 2026, co-moderated by Daniel Stauffacher (Founder of ICT4Peace), Ambassador Thomas Schneider (Vice-Director of BAKOM), and Ambassador Markus Reubi (Federal Department for Foreign Affairs).
The roundtable brought together participants from government, academia, industry, civil society, and international organisations.
2. Written submissions received through an online call for input, where 55 submissions were received so far, of which 52 contained substantive responses to the guiding questions.

The roundtable and the online call for input were conducted under Chatham House rule. Accordingly, this report synthesises themes without attributing comments to named individuals. This report is based on a qualitative synthesis of recurring themes, areas of convergence, and practical proposals emerging from these two input streams. It is intended to inform strategic planning for the AI Summit Geneva 2027 . It does not present a statistically representative survey, but rather identifies the main patterns, priorities, and implications that emerged from the consultation process.
The Report was submitted to the Swiss Governments’s Platform Tripartite on 13 April 2026.
