Welcome to the

CEE Swiss IT-Solutions & Talents Summit 2024

Connecting Swiss IT Needs with CEE Tech Talent

 

Information about the Summit

Invented and hosted by the non-profit Chamber of Commerce Switzerland Central Europe (SEC), this one-day Summit continues the success of last year's edition, further strengthening collaboration between Swiss businesses and IT providers from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The summit is designed to address Switzerland's IT skill gap and it focuses on three key areas: Artificial Intelligence, Cybersecurity and Data Science.

Participants will benefit from tailored solutions within three critical verticals: Industry/Medtech, Fintech/Blockchain, and SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises). Whether addressing innovations in Industry 4.0, exploring blockchain’s transformative potential in financial technologies, or identifying scalable IT solutions for SMEs, the Summit offers a rich platform for Swiss companies to connect with highly skilled CEE professionals.

The day will feature B2B-meetings, panel discussions and hands-on workshops, providing insights into the latest trends and fostering long-term business relationships. This mix of structured and spontaneous networking will help companies benchmark their IT strategies, find innovative solutions, and explore nearshoring opportunities.

We're proud to have the backing of prominent Swiss industry associations and chambers of commerce (see their logos below). This exceptional support underlines the great challenge the Swiss economy is facing regarding IT skill shortage.
