Open Source
Open Future 2026

When AI doesn’t just respond, but takes action

Artificial intelligence is continuing to evolve. It is moving from a role of assistance towards one of active intervention. Systems no longer merely answer questions. They plan workflows, integrate tools, suggest solutions and carry out the initial steps independently.

But what does this mean for companies that bear responsibility for data, processes and infrastructure?

At Open Source. Open Future. 2026, stepping stone AG and its partners will demonstrate how Agentic AI can be deployed in a practical, secure and open manner. Not as hype, but as a concrete look at possibilities, limitations and prerequisites.

The focus will be on questions such as:
How is Agentic AI transforming digital collaboration? What role do open source, Swiss infrastructure and data sovereignty play? And where does real benefit arise, rather than just technological fascination?

We warmly invite you to gain expert insights, take part in open discussions and enjoy a relaxed exchange of ideas.
