Trust Valley Days 2026
On September 23 and 24, 2026, the SwissTech Convention Center will host another edition of Trust Valley Day, the annual gathering of the Lake Geneva ecosystem dedicated to digital trust. Organized by Trust Valley, this major event will bring together companies, public institutions, researchers, startups, and investors to discuss a particularly timely topic: “Building Trust in the Agentic Era.”
More specifically, the event will take place on September 24, in conjunction with TechTour: AI & Trust Systems 2026, which will be held on the 23rd.
Rethinking Digital Trust in the Face of the Rise of AI Agents
The emergence of intelligent agents marks a new stage in the digital transformation of organizations. Capable of making decisions, interacting with other systems, and automating complex processes, these new tools present as many opportunities as they do challenges in terms of cybersecurity, governance, data protection, and accountability. This edition of Trust Valley Day will therefore focus on analyzing the conditions necessary to build lasting trust in this new generation of technologies, by bringing together perspectives from academia, public institutions, and the private sector.
The conferences, panel discussions, and discussions will focus in particular on cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, digital governance, data protection, trusted technologies, and the new balance between innovation, regulation, and digital sovereignty. This will give you the opportunity to explore topics such as:
- "The Innovation Race: Closing Europe’s Scale Gap" with Laurent Ballmeli of Citrix, Maël Azokly of Walder Wyss Ltd., François Carlot of Rothschild & Co Bank AG, Martin Schaffer of SGS, Frederic Wohlwend of Forestay Capital, and Robin Simon of Threema
- From Pilot to Policy: Governing AI in the Public Sector
- "Digital Trust & Health: Beyond the Buzzwords" with Jérôme Berger of Orange, Alison Hick Duvoisin of the Vidymed Group, Guillaume DuPasquier of DomoHealth, and Silvia Quarteroni of EPFL
For small and medium-sized enterprises in French-speaking Switzerland, this event offers a unique opportunity to anticipate the impact of agent-based artificial intelligence on their operations. Beyond technological advancements, it will provide a better understanding of the challenges related to digital trust, data control, AI system security, and the new governance requirements that will accompany the adoption of these technologies.
