Invitation to the 4th Swiss AI SME Circle. Use Cases & Peer Learning – unlocking more value from AI together

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the economy – but how can small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) leverage these technologies in a practical and profitable way?

After three successful Circles we will meet for the forth Swiss AI SME Circle at the ETH AI Center, to continue the exchange on hands-on experiences around real AI use cases and discuss how companies can learn from each other and accelerate progress together.

Through selected examples from practice, participants will showcase how they are already using AI productively – from process automation to intelligent data analysis.
Another focus will be on Apertus and the ALPS infrastructure, which are developed to provide secure, transparent, and privacy-compliant access to large language models and high-performance computing resources – specifically for Swiss companies.

About the Swiss AI SME Circle
The Swiss AI SME Circle was launched in October 2025 by the Swiss National AI Initiative (SNAI), together with CSCS and swissICT.
The Circle brings together companies, researchers, and innovators to promote peer learning, knowledge sharing, and practical collaboration.
The fourth Circle will take place at the ETH AI Center in Oerlikon and will focus on use cases as the core of shared learning.
The goal is to ensure that SMEs directly benefit from national infrastructure, expertise, and collaboration opportunities.
