Modernization at the Swiss Venture Club
The Swiss Venture Club (SVC) president, Andreas Gerber, presented the new strategy and orientation of the SME association SVC on the occasion of the annual SVC general meeting at the Bellevue Palace in Bern: More favorable membership, new fields of activity and increased focus on young entrepreneurs as cornerstones.
The Swiss Venture Club (SVC) has been serving small and medium-sized enterprises for 18 years. Today, with over 3,000 members from all industries and regions, it offers one of the largest and most important networks for entrepreneurs in Switzerland. It brings together innovative personalities from business, science, politics, media and culture and enables them to establish high-quality contacts. In addition, by regularly awarding the Prix SVC entrepreneurial prize, it creates public awareness for their achievements and encourages the exchange of ideas. In this way, it promotes entrepreneurship and thus makes its contribution to a successful Switzerland.
Successful fiscal year 2017/2018
The Swiss Venture Club can look back on a successful business year 2017/2018. Together with the new board members, who were elected at the last general meeting, the SVC president, Andreas Gerber, is doing everything in his power to continue the success of the club and to develop it further in the future. Already at the beginning of the year, at a strategy day of the SVC board, it was decided to be able to offer a broader range of services to the members. In order to achieve this goal, the association was realigned: A more modern, fresh and dynamic image, which includes, among other things, a new website (from summer 2019) and active networking on social media channels, should contribute to the modernization of SVC and inspire existing and new members. Furthermore, women, young female entrepreneurs and entrepreneurs will be targeted. To achieve all this, in addition to the proven "Prix SVC", three new fields of activity; "SVC Inspiration", "SVC Impulse", "SVC Dialog" have been defined. In addition, the SVC is lowering its membership fees for corporate members.
Farewell and new elections
In the ordinary agenda item of the General Meeting, a long-serving member of the Board, Mr. Pierre-Olivier Chave, was bidden farewell. Heinrich Christen and Marc Werner were re-elected to the board by the assembly.
