Fifth edition

Human-Centric Innovation: Shaping a Sustainable and Ethical Future

Historic Summit: 25 – 26 June 2026
Galas, Tours & Exclusive Experiences: 26 - 27 June

The Holy See has called for open dialogue on AI’s disruptive potential, its risks, and the need to uphold the intrinsic dignity of every man and woman. Future Innovation Summit is answering that call. This gathering marks a defining moment in human history — The Vatican as the stage, and humanity in the modern age as the subject.

FIS will unite diplomats, business leaders, academics, scholars, faith representatives, non-profits, tribal leaders, and individuals determined to ensure that the next era of technological development advances justice and peace. Be deliberate. Be bold. Be part of shaping a future that works for all societies.
