DAVOS, SWITZERLAND, October 29, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ — J3D.AI Labs (pronounced “Jedi”) today announced the theme of House of Collaboration 2027: “Antifragile Alliances and Responsible Technology Development in a Multi-Polar World”.
House of Collaboration (HoC) is a recurring platform that convenes government, business, capital and research leaders in Davos every January, during the annual gathering of global leaders. The five-day programme runs from Sunday 17 to Thursday 21 January 2027 at Hotel Cresta Sun, Talstrasse 52, Davos.
The 2026 edition welcomed more than 850 delegates from over 70 countries, with more than 120 speakers and 25 partners. Speakers included ministers from the New Nordics (NB8) countries and leaders from UNESCO, Invest India, NVIDIA, Cerebras, SAP and S&P Global. HoC 2027 will again host a delegation from India and will expand the New Nordics track.
For its fourth Davos edition, HoC starts from a clear observation: trade, technology and security increasingly split along competing blocs, and each new shock pushes partners further apart. HoC 2027 asks how leaders can build alliances that become stronger because of it: partnerships that learn from shocks, spread risk across many actors and keep working when one part fails.
Antifragile, a term coined by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, describes systems that gain from stress. An antifragile alliance is not formed against each other. It is formed across divides, and it grows stronger under pressure.
A pansupra community
HoC describes itself as a pansupra community: pan, across all borders, disciplines, generations and intelligences; supra, rising above the divisions that keep people apart, but never above the people themselves. Every delegate already leads something, whether a nation, a region, an organisation or a community. HoC exists to connect these leaders where tension is highest, and to turn connection into work that continues after the week ends. This follows the founding purpose of J3D.AI Labs: to make peace more profitable than war.
“Division is now the default setting of global affairs,” said Yip Thy Diep Ta, Co-Founder and CEO of J3D.AI. “In a multi-polar world, collaboration is no longer a courtesy. It is a strategic asset. We do not ask our delegates to agree on everything. We ask them to sit at one table, name their tensions honestly. An antifragile alliance is not one without conflict or disagreement. It is one that gets wiser every time it is tested.”
Five summits, one week
The HoC 2027 programme is built as five named summits, each with a small number of focused sessions:
Sunday 17 January: Cybernetic Foresight Roundtables
Monday 18 January: Human Flourishing Summit
Tuesday 19 January: New Nordics Innovation Summit
Wednesday 20 January: Bridges to Europe Summit
Thursday 21 January: Capital & Wealth Summit, closing with the Gathering of Decacorns, Unicorns and Soonicorns
Sessions examine how frontier technologies such as AI, quantum computing, space and cyber security can be developed responsibly when no single power sets the rules. Topics include sovereign and resilient infrastructure, the energy demand of the next generation of data centres, and how public and private actors can share standards without sharing every interest. The community is large, but the rooms are deliberately small: each session is built for decision density rather than audience size. Every conversation includes the people who can act on it.
A highlight of the week: the Gathering of Decacorns, Unicorns and Soonicorns
On Thursday 21 January, the Capital & Wealth Summit closes HoC 2027 with the Gathering of Decacorns, Unicorns and Soonicorns. The gathering is designed for founders of high-growth companies, from those on track to a USD 1 billion valuation (soonicorns) to those valued above USD 1 billion (unicorns) and USD 10 billion (decacorns), and for the investors, capital allocators and policymakers who shape where growth capital goes next. The aim is to put the builders of the next decade in the same room as the people who fund and regulate them, at the moment when frontier technology decides who leads.
“Responsible technology cannot be built by one country, one company or one bloc,” said Kevin Varend, Co-Founder and Managing Director of J3D.AI. “The builders, the regulators and the capital have to be in the same room early, not after the damage is done. House of Collaboration gives them a neutral place to do that, and a community that keeps them connected for the rest of the year.”
