Swico Track Swiss Software Leaders

This track is aimed at software entrepreneurs and those who dream of becoming one. The goal is to facilitate an exchange of experience and expertise.

Session 1 – How to build and grow your company

Swiss software companies face a common challenge: They operate in a small market, which limits their early growth. The result is that many promising Swiss software companies are soon acquired by international players. What's the alternative? Is there a way for Swiss software to venture into the international shark tank without being bitten? Or should Swiss software simply focus on business models that primarily serve the domestic demand?

Session 2 – How to build and grow your talent

Developing software is more than a laborious process, it's a craft. But like any craft, talent is what makes the difference. Access to well-trained specialists is essential, so the matter of if and how quickly this talent can be made productive makes a crucial difference. Several strategies exist, ranging from apprenticeships and cross-company training programs to independent self-learning and self-organizing corporate structures.
