Geneva, shaping AI for the world
On the occasion of the “AI for Good” global summit organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) from July 7 to 10, 2026, in Geneva, the Canton will bring together public, private, academic, and civil society stakeholders at a joint booth to showcase the richness and diversity of its ecosystem in the field of artificial intelligence for the common good.
Building on the success of previous editions, the event will once again be held at Palexpo to welcome an ever-growing Geneva-based and international audience that is increasingly engaged with issues related to artificial intelligence.
Tuesday 7 July - 11am to 12pm
From armed conflicts and climate disasters to displacement and humanitarian emergencies, millions of children face interrupted education every year. Discover how artificial intelligence can help strengthen preparedness, support learning continuity, and build more resilient education systems for the world's most vulnerable learners.
