Innovation

The China Connect Summit
China
Meets
Europe
The structural shift in global technology is not coming from Silicon Valley alone. China's physical AI revolution, from humanoid robotics to autonomous systems, is rewriting the rules of hardware innovation at a pace and scale that demands attention from every serious allocator.
China Connect is the only European forum purpose-built for this conversation. We bring together the institutions shaping capital allocation with the founders and operators building the next generation of physical intelligence. In Zurich, where precision meets ambition.
