SEF.Academy

the development lab

Take part in our workshop for high potentials, meet other young talents and be there on the second day of the SEF.25 and at the SEF.Soiree in Interlaken!

The SEF.Academy brings together today's leaders with tomorrow's leaders. Participants attend a practice-oriented workshop of the Swiss Institute of Small Business and Entrepreneurship of the University of St.Gallen and learn how entrepreneurial leadership and co-entrepreneurship can be specifically fostered to sustainably strengthen companies.

Participants not only get the opportunity to expand their network by meeting people in similar positions, but they can also actively experience the second day of the SEF.25 and network with Switzerland's most renowned and experienced business leaders. What's more, participation in the SEF.Academy ensures you the opportunity to purchase a ticket for the SEF.26 – a valuable way to remain part of this exclusive network in the future and attend the always sold-out Swiss Economic Forum.

The SEF.Academy is for young leaders who… 

  • are between 28 and 40 years old. 

  • have Management Experience and Budget responsibility. 

  • are Company decision-makers. 

  • committed to Switzerland’s entrepreneurial and sustainable future.
