On November 14, 2024, Marc Weibel had the opportunity to moderate a roundtable at the Swiss AI Summit in Zurich. The topic, “AI in Finance and Sustainable Investing”, brought together experts from academia and industry.
The stage featured Nicolas Jamet, Portfolio Manager at RAM AI, and Kai Gramke, CEO of Econsight AG, who shed light on the potential of AI.
AI in the Investment Process: Sustainability Meets Alpha
Nicolas Jamet showcased how RAM AI integrates AI across the entire investment process—from stock selection to portfolio construction. The focus was not only on creating sustainable portfolios but also on generating alpha.
Jamet’s insights highlighted the growing importance of viewing sustainability not just as a “nice-to-have” but as a central element of modern investment strategies. With AI, this can be elevated to a new level.
Innovation Through Patent Analysis: A Glimpse into the Future
Kai Gramke brought a completely different perspective to the discussion. Through an impressive live demonstration, he showed how Econsight AG uses AI to analyze global patent data and evaluate companies and markets in terms of their innovative capabilities.
These technologies provide insights not only into the innovation capacity of individual companies but also into their potential to shape future markets.
