The conference was initiated by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), a UN specialized agency for information and communication technology. Around 2,500 guests, AI innovators, start-ups, and renowned speakers as well as a large online community from 183 countries will present their ideas, discuss them in workshops and network in Geneva. As a global company with a focus on new technologies relating to robotics, automation and digitalization, KUKA and KUKA's Swiss logistics expert Swisslog are sponsoring the conference. .

We cannot solve our current problems and challenges with what we have so far. We need new technologies, ideas and concepts. Technological innovations, such as those resulting from the combination of AI and robotics, play an important role in achieving the sustainability goals of the United Nations.
