Future of Life Institute Europe is a Swiss foundation related to the US Future of Life Institute. It received USD180,297,079 of cash and financial assets from FLI on 30 December 2022, making it a substantial asset holder within this network.

Who can act for the foundation

The Swiss record lists Jaan Tallinn, Anthony Aguirre, Mihaela Chita-Tegmark, Anna Béatrice Ramsay Fihn and Max Tegmark as board members with joint signature by two. ECHO SA is the appointed auditor and federal foundation supervision is recorded. The register references a reserved purpose-modification right under Article 86a, but the founder and operative deed conditions were not recovered. A two-signature rule identifies how authorised acts are executed; it does not reveal who appoints directors or approves particular grants.
