GenAI Zürich

Introducing the winner of the GenAI Zürich Award in the Rising Innovators track 🚀 It is our pleasure to announce kaiko.ai, represented by Robert Berke and Nils Eckstein, as a winner of the prestigious GenAI Zürich Award. Huge congratulations! Sacha Ghiglione, leading jury member for this track, captured the team’s impact in his laudatio: “Kaiko.ai is a remarkable Dutch-Swiss startup on a mission to transform cancer care through a truly groundbreaking AI assistant – one that supports medical experts across the full journey of oncology treatment. What truly impressed us was the combination of deep technical innovation and clear clinical purpose. Kaiko’s models are tailored for medicine, designed to understand everything from complex radiology scans to genomics and unstructured clinical notes. Of course, we’d love to see even more data on how this translates into patient outcomes but the potential here is undeniable. Kaiko.ai is more than a tech company – it’s a glimpse into the future of healthcare. By building everything from the data infrastructure to real clinical applications, they’re not just solving today’s problems – they’re paving the way for a new standard in medical AI. We’re excited to see where they go next.” Please join us in congratulating kaiko.ai on this impressive achievement and on becoming the Rising Innovators winner of the GenAI Zürich Award 2025! 🚀👏 #GenAIZurichAward2025 #GenAIZurich #GenAIZurich2025 #GenAI #Innovation #ArtificialIntelligence

Introducing the winner of the GenAI Zürich Award in the Enterprise Transformers track 🚀 It is our pleasure to announce Digitec Galaxus AG, represented by Bernhard Walser and Michael Hardegger, as a winner of the prestigious GenAI Zürich Award. Huge congratulations! Christoph Schnidrig, leading jury member for this award track, shared the rational behind this decision in his laudatio: “Digitec Galaxus has transformed how they manage product information by developing an AI system that makes product descriptions more complete, adding 30% more useful details across their catalog. So, mostlikely this innovation affects virtually all of us – when you shop on Galaxus, it's now easier to find exactly what you're looking for among their 8 million products! And yes, there is some irony involved of having an Amazon employee saying this... But let's focus on their achievement - they won for three compelling reasons: 1. The results speak for themselves: they cut computing-costs by 500 times while handling 100,000 product updates daily with 95% accuracy. 2. Their smart step-by-step approach – evolving from standard GenAI model to a fine-tuned model perfectly matched to their needs - showcases how to systematically improve AI solutions. 3. They've created a scalable solution that maintains human oversight while managing 8 million products, proving that GenAI can be practically implemented at enterprise scale. Congratulations on this great work!” Please join us in congratulating to Digitec Galaxus AG for this impressive track record and for becoming the 1st GenAI Zürich winner in the “Enterprise Transformers” track! 🚀👏 #GenAIZurichAward2025 #GenAIZurich #GenAIZurich2025 #GenAI #Innovation #ArtificialIntelligence

📢 GenAI Zürich 2025 Speaker Announcement: Dengxin Dai, Director of Computer Vision and Machine Learning at Huawei Zurich Research Center 💫 🎙️ Talk title: “Mobile Phone Photography in the AI Era: Tackling Challenges with 3D Gaussian Splatting and Vision Momba Architecture” In this talk, I will provide an overview of recent advancements in smartphone photography and then introduce two of our latest innovations that use cutting-edge AI to significantly enhance video stabilization and image resolution. The first innovation focuses on 3D Gaussian Splatting, a novel approach to video stabilization that ensures smoother and more stable footage. By rethinking the traditional methods of stabilization, we eliminate common issues like image distortion, excessive cropping, and poor performance across different types of video content. Our solution preserves the natural motion of the user while ensuring a high level of stability, creating a more seamless and professional video experience. The second innovation, BurstMamba, is a breakthrough in burst image super-resolution (BISR). This AI-powered solution improves the resolution of images captured in quick succession, enhancing image quality without the heavy computational demands of traditional models. By optimizing both spatial and temporal processing, BurstMamba ensures high-quality results with greater efficiency. This approach has set new benchmarks for image resolution across a range of real-world applications. Together, these advancements demonstrate our commitment to pushing the boundaries of smartphone photography, offering users a richer, more polished visual experience with every photo and video they capture. ⏳🎫 Just a few hours left until GenAI Zürich 2025!
