Female Innovation Forum: Full success

Guests from all over Switzerland, as well as from Austria and Germany, attended the workshops and presentations on blockchain, globalization and sustainability, digitalization, social entrepreneurs, and the aging revolution; numerous venture capitalists, business angels, and investor groups were also in attendance.

Meaningful Relationships Among Women

For the event’s organizer, Sandra Stella Triebl, the event was a resounding success: “We shared our knowledge, empowered young women in their entrepreneurial vision, and in doing so, forged new, lasting relationships among them.“ Triebl hopes to build on this success: “Together with our partners Impact Hub and digitalswitzerland, we hope to announce a follow-up event in the fall so we can further explore the many ideas the young female entrepreneurs received that afternoon.“The Female Innovation Forum (FIF) was supported by the Canton of Zurich (Office for Gender Equality and Location Marketing), BMW Switzerland, Schlossberg, Credit Suisse, digitalswitzerland, USM, Ambiente Rapperswil, and Vitra. The forum’s support committee ranges from IKEA Switzerland to Impact Hub, LeadersBridge, SICTIC, Business Angels Switzerland, SWONET, and Advance Women in Swiss Business, reflecting its broad base of support. The organizers plan to hold the event annually in the future, including an awards ceremony for the Female Innovator of the Year.
