SUMMARY
Join us for the 5th SWISS INNOVATION International Blockchain Qualified Investor Event to meet promising international companies.
Our events are highly recognised by both presenting companies as well as by qualified investors.
Blockchain will change the world in the next 5 years to the same extend as the Internet changed the world in the last 20 years. We bring this vision to qualified investors in particular HWNI’s, family offices and institutional investors by presenting them promising companies that participate in the realisation of this vision.
Dr. Urs Aebischer and Dr. Heike Virmond open the event by sharing newest insights regarding blockchain implementation and providing an outlook of what we might expect from the future.
We then present 6-10 selected companies with a blockchain related business execution. We invite both national and international companies of different development stages. They show how they plan to disrupt by discussing a specific business case.
Before the pitching session the companies go through a 2-day workshop and training program in order to achieve high quality of presentations. Each company has exactly 5 minutes followed by 4 minutes of Q&A.

PURPOSE OF THIS EVENT
Blockchain is going to radically change the way we make business. One of the first sectors to undergo such changes is banking and insurance. It also has a deep impact on the venture capital industry, how funds are raised and how securities are managed and traded.
Of particular interest for high net worth individuals and family offices is that it allows to directly and earlier engage in the asset class of Private Equity and Venture Capital, a class that has to date been mainly covered through investment into funds. Now, with new blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies available, risks can be better diversified and assets can be easier liquidated upon investors request.
This opens private investors and family investors the possibility to directly invest into this asset class by creating a new portfolio.The purpose of this event is to bring valuable insights to investors regarding the state of Blockchain and to present interesting companies that show new ways of making business based on blockchain. The event presents investment opportunities without obligation and pressure to invest in any of them.
As a summary, the event offers the investor to deepen his understanding of blockchain and how it is applied and most importantly to stay in the loop of a new technology which is advancing in an incredible speed, faster than then Internet ever before. The hype of phantasy ICO’s with inexperienced founders having an idea on paper is definitely over. Now we are quickly progressing to sustainability.
