With technological challenges and the impact on competition and competitiveness increasing every year, the FORWARD Forum is an opportunity for SMEs in French-speaking Switzerland to reflect and exchange ideas on the strategies and perspectives they need to consider in order to continue to develop, or even just to continue to exist.
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
