About Launch
Celebrating the ETH Entrepreneur Club 10-year anniversary, Launch was created in 2021 to embrace all three of the clubs foundational pillars: inspire, educate and accelerate in a single flagship event. Through Launch, it is our vision put away the exclusivity and make entrepreneurial resources accessible so that those who dream it, can do it.After its big success in 2022 Launch will be co-hosted with the AI-X summit by the ETH AI Center for the second time. Launch | AI+X Summit is an all-day event that will take place on October 13, 2023 at StageOne Oerlikon. Our joint event last year attracted more than 2000 attendees, collaborating with 33 partners and showcasing 16 workshops and 36 research projects making it the biggest entrepreneurial event in Zurich.This year, ZHAW will join as a presenting academic partner and will contribute to the content of the event through workshops and activities. The event is a joint effort between the ETH AI center and the ETH Entrepreneur Club. This collaboration enables us to join forces and offer a larger event where our passions align: that being Artificial Intelligence and entrepreneurship. In addition Launch will feature the grand finale of the InCube Challenge 2023, a live pitching competition.

Responsible Entrepreneurship
In light of present and future challenges such as climate change, biodiversity loss and socioeconomic inequality, it is paramount for our projects and collective endeavors to consider social, environmental and economic aspects from the beginning, not just as an afterthought. Launch is about helping students “bring their idea to orbit”, but it is essential to do so diligently and question how we get there. We need to make sure the world we are leaving behind is a place we want to come back to. Launch will host the Better Future Space, a space for participants to interact with key actors in the field. Additionally, keynotes and workshops will be held on related topics for participants to fully dive into learning how entrepreneurship can be used to promote lasting positive change.
