With 200 founders and ecosystem leaders, world-class speakers and tailor-made formats, this is where ideas ignite and big things happen. For the first time, startups have the opportunity to register as a non-community member for the draw for a SEF.Founder Conference ticket.

Every year, 200 founders and ecosystem leaders gather in Interlaken to connect, learn, and grow. Taking place on the afternoon of the Swiss Economic Forum’s opening day, this year’s SEF.Founder Conference revolves around the powerful motto: "Earn it". Through inspiring keynotes and insightful panel discussions, the event explores themes like embracing failure culture, fostering entrepreneurial virtues, and navigating complexity to uphold Switzerland’s legacy of success.

Some of the announced speakers are:

Tobias Gunzenhauser, Founder & Investor (Co-Founder and former CEO of yamo)
Victoria Ransom, Founder & Investor (Founder of Wildfire, acquired by Google in 2012 for $450 million)
Nicholas Hänny, Co-Founder and CEO, NIKIN AG

For the first time, non SEF.Founder community members can apply to attend the event by registering for the ticket draw. Tickets for CHF 530.00, limited, no guaranteed ticket. We will be accepting applications until 28 March, after which the draw and allocation of tickets will take place. The SEF team may still have tickets available after this date, so we will keep a waiting list, which will close at the end of April.
