Joint session co-hosted by Switzerland, ETH Zurich and EPFL.

Getting Ready for Quantum Computing

Quantum computing is positioned to complement classical computing, eventually expanding research and development. While not ready yet, quantum computing is developing rapidly. Are governments, industries, citizens aware of the enormous challenges – technical, political, intellectual –  that come with this technology? Can we identify what is missing today in the fields of governance and infrastructure in order to benefit from this revolution?

Wednesday, 18 January 2023
11.00-14.00 CET

Joint session co-hosted by Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, Swiss Federal Office of Energy and ETH Zurich.

Re-Thinking Energy Infrastructure: Decarbonization Deployment at Scale

The current energy crisis, as well as the global climate goals, underline the need to transform the global energy system. Much of the necessary technology for a successful transition to a secure, reliable and fossil-free economy already exists. Hydrogen is one of these. The event will shed light on the latest innovative solutions from research and of Swiss firms in the field of hydrogen technologies and will include panel discussions about the current and future hydrogen infrastructure projects, energy supply chains, existing policies, and business opportunities. The main part will be followed by a lunch break that will offer ample time for participants interested in business opportunities to network and interact with the sector’s experts.

WEF23_AI, Future, Europe

Wednesday, 18 January 2023
12.30-15.30 CET
Joint workshop co-hosted by ETH AI Center, Merantix and Tübingen AI Center.

AI, Future, Europe

Europe has been the leading driver of civilisation for centuries, producing many of the world's most important inventions and innovations in the past. Today tech companies from the U.S. and China grow the fastest but the lack of economic sustainability and societal stability creates a tremendous demand for scientific knowledge and new solutions.
This workshop, co-hosted by the ETH AI Center, Merantix, and Tübingen AI Center, brings together innovative minds from science, politics, and business to discuss how Europe can become a leader in AI research and entrepreneurship.

WEF23 Rethinking Regeneration

Wednesday, 18 January 2023
17.30-18.30 CET

Joint session with NatureFinance

RETHINKING Regeneration

Consider for a moment that our entire global economy is fully dependent upon natural systems. Consider further that these are increasingly at risk around the world and are recognized as not being healthy enough to continue to support us. Nature-based solutions which act to protect natural ecosystems that benefit people and contribute to tackling climate change and protecting biodiversity are an opportunity to ensure a nature positive future by providing essential services such as carbon storage, ensuring food and water supplies and buffering against the impacts of a warming world. Thus, Nature-Based Finance are the next wave of critical and appropriate measures for all of us to not just to consider, but to act upon.

Moderated by external page Chris Luebkeman, Head Strategic Foresight, ETH Zurich

Followed by a networking reception, closing at 20.30.

This event is part of ETH Zurich’s RETHINKING LIVING campaign. We are all feeling massive change across just about every aspect of our lives. Climate change, the destruction of biodiversity, the coronavirus pandemic and technological disruptions present threats, but more importantly, an opportunity to focus on grand challenges, to embrace deeper meaning, and to rediscover overlooked aspects of our lives. RETHINKING LIVING convenes scientists, industry experts and outstanding global thinkers from ETH Zurich and across the world.
