Breaking DePIN: The Physical AI unConference in Zurich explores the critical challenges ahead and how DePIN can unlock AI’s full potential.
Decentralized Physical Infrastructure Networks (DePIN) are redefining how we build, operate, and govern critical infrastructure. By combining shared ownership, token incentives, and open participation, DePIN enables cost efficiency, resilience, and rapid infrastructure build out.
This year’s unConference adds a spotlight on Physical AI, exploring how AI-powered systems, autonomous agents, and robots can integrate with physical infrastructure such as sensor networks, compute grids, energy systems, and telecommunications.
While Physical AI will be a key focus, the event will also dive into core DePIN fundamentals including governance models, tokenomics, funding, interoperability, and scaling. Policy, legal, and ethics perspectives will complement the technical and economic discussions.
