Switzerland Wealth Innovation Tour 2018 | The Asian Banker | 3 September 2018 | Switzerland

Switzerland, home of wealth and private banking icons such as UBS, Credit Suisse, and Julius Baer Group, is well known as one of the leading financial centres in the world with a mixture of tradition, innovation, entrepreneurship and effective investment structures. Zurich, the largest city in Switzerland is a major international financial centre, and one of the richest and cleanest cities in the world. Geneva, is a city that intertwines financial strength and humanitarian work, making it home to the United Nations. Basel is another leading city in the financial services industry, specialised in private banking risk capital and insurance. However, Switzerland’s powerhouse does not end there; over the last few years the small town of Zug has become the “Crypto Valley” – world’s leading blockchain and cryptographic technology ecosystems, placing Switzerland as one of the world’s best financial technology (fintech) hub.

We are pleased to announce the Switzerland Wealth Innovation Tour 2018 after a successful 2017 tour. This is a five-day program for senior and chief executives in financial institutions, advisory firms, family offices, and insurance companies to experience the newest trends, industry disruption, the impact of regulation, the latest innovations in the Swiss market, and ideas that will shape the future of your industry. The tour includes site visits in Zurich, Basel, Zug and Geneva, to major leading companies in wealth and asset management, boutique family owned banks, successful companies with unique, cutting-edge business models, bank innovation labs, fintech firms, and native digital enterprise.

A key feature of the tour is that we facilitate dialogue with leading players in the local and international financial industry, as well as with Swiss’ leading experts, and innovators. These first-hand experiences and insights will help your bank to keep abreast of banking innovation. Delegate seats are limited to 25 participants to guaranty interactive format.
