Microsoft promotes Swiss AI innovation

The Lausanne-based AI start-up inait and Microsoft are joining forces. Together, they want to develop a new generation of intelligent systems with the aim of fundamentally transforming the world of finance and the robotics industry. At the centre is an AI platform that is based on the way the human brain works.
Inait’s technology is based on two decades of neuroscientific research and represents a radical break with conventional AI approaches. The centrepiece is a cognitive platform called Digital Brain, which understands cause-and-effect relationships, learns from experience and adapts flexibly to new situations. This brings us closer to the goal of general, human-like intelligence. Beyond the narrow limits of today’s systems.
Strategic alliance with global reach
With Microsoft on board, inait now wants to scale its technology globally. The partnership focusses on joint product developments, market launch strategies and co-selling initiatives. The Azure cloud serves as the technological basis, while Microsoft’s international network paves the way into new markets. The first step will focus on the financial and robotics sectors.
Revolution in fintech and robotics
In the financial sector, inait’s AI is set to set new standards, for example through intelligent trading algorithms, more precise risk assessments and personalised advisory solutions. In industry, AI is creating new opportunities for adaptive robots that can operate in dynamic environments. The aim is for machines to master complex tasks autonomously and continue to develop.
Switzerland as a business location and source of innovation
The collaboration emphasises Switzerland’s role as a hotspot for pioneering AI development. For Microsoft Switzerland, the partnership is a strategic step. “inait’s neuroscience-inspired technology is groundbreaking,” says Catrin Hinkel, CEO of Microsoft Switzerland. “We see immediate opportunities for transformation, especially in fintech and robotics.”
A milestone for cognitive AI
The partnership not only marks a significant step for inait, but also an innovative impulse for the global AI market. The Digital Brain is a new approach that closes the gap between man and machine a little further and has the potential to change entire industries.
