SAIROP | Legal Disclaimer

Purpose of SAIROP

The Swiss Artificial Intelligence Research Overview Platform SAIROP is an initiative supported by different Partner organisations. SAIROP was launched in June 2022 and aims at providing an overview over the very many activities and initiatives launched in recent years throughout Switzerland. SAIROPs main goal is to facilitate collaborations across disciplines and institutions in the field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Switzerland. For this SAIROP connects different actors and fosters the exchange amongst them. 

SAIROP is meant to be an innovation and networking hub for different stakeholders such as research partners, companies, governmental institutions and others. To reach this goal, SAIROP helps you to find the right partners – people, research groups  or solution providers – to collaborate with. SAIROP supports knowledge transfer via frequent exchanges and events involving the various SAIROP Partners. 

The Partnership is open and interested organisations are welcome to contribute to it. Organisations interested in becoming a SAIROP Partner may send an e-mail to info(at)sairop(dot)swiss
