SEF.Founder Conference
Welcome to the SEF.Founder Conference!
Taking place on the afternoon of the Swiss Economic Forum’s opening day, this year’s SEF.Founder Conference revolves around the powerful motto: "Earn it". Success isn’t handed out – it’s earned. Through inspiring keynotes and insightful panel discussions, we’ll explore themes like embracing failure culture, fostering entrepreneurial virtues, and navigating complexity to uphold Switzerland’s legacy of success.
Every year, 200 founders and ecosystem leaders gather in Interlaken to connect, learn, and grow. Expect top-tier speakers, actionable insights, and formats designed specifically for the SEF.Founder community.
In addition to the content, participants appreciate the opportunity to network and exchange ideas with like-minded people during the SEF.Founder Conference and the chance to take part in the exclusive Swiss Economic Forum networking evening afterwards, which brings together Switzerland's most important players from business, politics and science.
Every year, 200 founders and multipliers from the ecosystem meet in Interlaken. Our conference is characterised by distinguished speakers and specific formats tailored to the needs of the SEF.Founder community.
Members of the SEF.Founder Community, selected start-ups and multipliers from the ecosystem can take part "on invitation only".
