Governance Insights
The CognitiveValley is in the process of becoming a non-profit, tax-exempt Switzerland-based foundation. The CognitiveValley Foundation will be a subsidiary of the Swiss umbrella foundation «Fondation des Fondateurs». All legal formalities are already in place. The legal establishment of the CognitiveValley Foundation will be completed once all founding donors have signed on.
Foundation purpose:
The CognitiveValley Foundation is striving to create a future where Switzerland is recognized as a trustworthy global center and world leader for artificial intelligence. In pursuit of this goal, the non-profit foundation promotes AI-related innovation, open dialogue, education, research, and entrepreneurship related to cognitive technologies in Switzerland. While the foundation’s work is mostly based in Switzerland, we collaborate with a variety of foreign stakeholders and reach across borders to develop international solutions for inherently global issues.
