SMEs & Digital: adapt or disappear?

This will be the main theme of the 7th edition of the Forum, to be held on March 20, 2025, at the Swiss Tech Convention Center. 

Artificial intelligence, cryptocurrencies, cybersecurity, digital sovereignty... there are many issues at stake for SMEs, as many operational questions: how to deal with cyberthreats, how to exploit the full potential of digital data without "selling your soul" to the tech giants, or how to engage in a reasoned and responsible, but no less productive, use of AI? 

As every year, the event will provide practical answers to these questions, while sharing the inspiring vision of Swiss entrepreneurs ready to meet the challenges of digital transformation.

The program will enable you to delve deeper into subjects such as..: 

  • the blockchain x SME relationship with Vincent Pignon from WeCan
  • tomorrow's dialogue with robots with Sabine Lehmann from Google Deepmind
  • digital sovereignty in Switzerland with Cédric Moret from ELCA, Marc Ohler from Infomaniak and Catherine Pugin from the State of Vaud
or concrete examples of AI use or cyberattacks.
