UpVisit makes AI accessible in Davos

The app guides you through the AI House in Davos during the World Economic Forum.

UpVisit will accompany visitors to the World Economic Forum this year. The UpVisit app will be available exclusively in the AI House of the World Economic Forum (WEF), which is organized by partners of the ETH AI Center. On site, participants can use the app to explore the AI House, its events and content on a new level.

Founded by Katharina Aguilar and Alicia Sophie Hinon , the company offers a platform that event organizers and other analogue venues such as stores and museums can use to present digital experiences to their customers. At the WEF, the app is used in the AI House and provides visitors with a 3D floor plan for orientation, information on speakers, start-ups in the AI scene and about the AI House itself in addition to the event schedule. Users can save events and access additional information to put together their own personal event plan.

Unique experience makes AI accessible

Thanks to the accompanying content in the UpVisit app, visitors to the AI House have the opportunity to gain a new understanding of a topic that is often difficult to grasp. The app guides participants through the world of artificial intelligence in a playful and experience-oriented way. Despite only a short preparation time, UpVisit created a solution for the AI House in just a few days that offers a new, innovative approach to the topic.

Letizia Turri, Director's Associate at the ETH AI Center: "We are delighted to be working with UpVisit at this year's WEF. Thanks to UpVisit, we can offer visitors to the AI House a unique experience and make all topics related to AI even more accessible."

Katharina Aguilar, CEO and co-founder of UpVisit, is very excited about the opportunity: "It is a great honor to partner with AI House for the World Economic Forum. UpVisit has the potential to expand events of all sizes and offer visitors more immersive experiences. "We will convince Davos of this."

The World Economic Forum will take place in Davos from January 15 - 19, 2024.
