Zug, Switzerland — one of the world’s leading blockchain and fintech hubs — will host Trust Circle on May 29, 2026, an exclusive invitation-only summit focused on sovereign AI infrastructure and the future of advanced computing systems. Hosted at SHED Zug and organized by AI Cluster Zug, the event will bring together a select group of just 100 influential leaders from the worlds of artificial intelligence, Web3, finance, cybersecurity, and digital infrastructure.
Among the headline speakers will be Eddie Chong, Chairman of SFI (StableCoin Financial Infrastructure), a next-generation Web4 ecosystem designed around stablecoin-powered finance, AI integration, real-world assets (RWA), and decentralized value networks. His participation reflects SFI’s growing international influence and marks another major step in the company’s European expansion strategy.
At the summit, Eddie Chong will appear alongside senior representatives from the Zug government, NVIDIA Switzerland, Julius Baer, and leading blockchain organizations during the official soft launch of AI Cluster Zug — a new initiative aimed at strengthening Switzerland’s sovereign AI capabilities.
AI Cluster Zug Signals Switzerland’s Next Technology Push
The launch of AI Cluster Zug represents an important moment for Switzerland’s growing ambitions in artificial intelligence and digital infrastructure. The initiative is focused on building sovereign AI systems, supporting innovation through public-private collaboration, and creating long-term technological resilience within Europe.
As countries worldwide race to secure AI computing power and reduce dependence on foreign infrastructure, Switzerland is positioning itself as a trusted center for both blockchain innovation and AI infrastructure development.
Zug has already established a global reputation for crypto regulation and decentralized technology. Now, through AI Cluster Zug, the region is expanding its role into the future of sovereign computing and AI-driven economies.
Eddie Chong’s invitation to speak at the summit highlights the increasing relevance of SFI’s Web4 ecosystem within these emerging global conversations. During his keynote address, Chong is expected to explain why AI infrastructure and decentralized payment systems must evolve together in order to support the next generation of autonomous digital economies.
According to Chong’s vision, computing infrastructure serves as the intelligence layer powering AI Agents, while stablecoin payment systems provide the economic layer that allows those agents to transact, interact, and operate independently.
Trust Circle is expected to become one of the first international platforms to directly connect discussions around sovereign AI systems with decentralized financial infrastructure.
Influential Leaders from AI, Finance, Government, and Web3 to Attend
The summit’s guest list includes decision-makers from several major industries, creating a unique environment for strategic collaboration.
Government and Public Sector Participation
Silvia Thalmann-Gut, Zug’s Cantonal Minister of Economic Affairs, will attend the event and reinforce Switzerland’s support for technological innovation, AI research, and blockchain development. Her presence also strengthens SFI’s opportunities to deepen relationships within European regulatory and policy circles.
AI Infrastructure and Technology Leaders
Marc Stampfli, NVIDIA Switzerland’s business leader, is expected to participate in conversations surrounding computing infrastructure and AI scalability. In addition, Inacta Ventures co-founders Ivo Strohhammer and Ralf Glabischnig will attend, representing Switzerland’s well-established Web3 and digital asset ecosystem.
Institutional Finance and Investment Firms
The summit will also feature executives from major financial institutions and investment organizations. Jonathan Theodore Hayes, Head of AI & Data at Julius Baer, and Dr. Dmitriy Antropov from Partners Group will contribute perspectives from institutional finance, AI investment, and infrastructure partnerships.
Their participation may open future opportunities for SFI in areas such as institutional funding, strategic capital deployment, and international financial collaboration.
Compliance and Cybersecurity Experts
With regulation and digital security becoming increasingly important across both AI and blockchain sectors, Trust Circle will also include leading compliance and intelligence specialists. Mathias Fuchs of InfoGuard and Guido Schmitz-Krummacher of the Onchain Foundation are expected to contribute expertise in blockchain governance, cybersecurity, and European regulatory adaptation.
Web3 Ecosystem Builders
Kamal Youssefi, Co-Founder and Executive Chairman of Hashgraph Ventures as well as a founding council member of Hedera, will also participate in the event. His presence reflects growing collaboration between established Web3 infrastructure providers and emerging Web4 financial ecosystems such as SFI.
The combination of these leaders demonstrates the increasing convergence between AI infrastructure, decentralized finance, and next-generation digital economies.
Eddie Chong to Present SFI’s Expanding Web4 Ecosystem
During his keynote speech, Eddie Chong is expected to unveil SFI’s broader vision for Web4 infrastructure and explain how stablecoin-powered systems can support future AI-native economies.
SFI’s ecosystem is designed around a connected financial architecture that links payments, investments, real-world assets, and digital commerce into one integrated value network.
Key components of the ecosystem include:
- Solulu Pay
- Solulu Club
- Caviar
- COPX DAO
- RWA Incubator
- RWA Exchange
Together, these platforms create a full-cycle ecosystem connecting asset creation, payments, consumption, investment, and value appreciation.
Chong is also expected to discuss how AI Agents are rapidly evolving into independent economic participants capable of managing assets, making payments, and engaging in decentralized economic activity without direct human involvement.
In this emerging environment, stablecoin infrastructure becomes essential for enabling AI-driven transactions and machine-to-machine economies.
Trust Circle will mark one of the first major international opportunities for SFI to present its complete Web4 infrastructure vision directly to policymakers, institutional investors, AI infrastructure providers, and global blockchain leaders.
A Major Milestone for SFI’s Global Strategy
For SFI, participation in Trust Circle represents more than a high-profile speaking appearance. It signals a broader strategic move toward establishing long-term trust infrastructure across global markets.
The relationships, discussions, and partnerships formed during the summit are expected to help accelerate SFI’s European roadmap and strengthen its international ecosystem strategy.
Following the event, SFI plans to focus on several major priorities, including:
- Expanding Solulu Pay’s payment network across Europe
- Strengthening compliance frameworks for RWA products
- Advancing AI Agent economic applications
- Enhancing the RWA Incubator and RWA Exchange ecosystem
- Building partnerships with global AI and infrastructure companies
As global interest in sovereign AI and decentralized finance continues to grow, SFI is positioning itself at the intersection of AI infrastructure, stablecoin finance, and Web4 innovation.
With Zug serving as a strategic gateway, SFI’s next phase of growth will focus on international collaboration, compliance-first development, and the expansion of AI-powered digital economies.
