Hosting the Summit lets Switzerland shape the international debate on AI governance. Trust Valley's objective is to remain an active part of that role well beyond the Summit itself.

Active interlocutor

Durable presence

Converting the Summit's momentum into lasting institutional presence, deepening collaboration with international partners so Swiss expertise in trust, security and AI governance keeps shaping the global conversation.

TVD27 in Geneva

Hosted in Geneva in Q4 2027, TVD27 becomes the strategic platform to advance the Summit's outcomes and consolidate Trust Valley and its partners as a global reference around AI.

The road to Geneva starts at Trust Valley Days 2026.
