SwissHacks 2024 🚀: one week since SwissHacks at Point Zero Forum! 📰 Today, we are sharing a reportage from finance.swiss that insightfully highlights our flagship event, SwissHacks 2024. 🚀 The Swiss Financial Innovation Desk (FIND) organized the very first government-supported hackathon, powered by Tenity, to promote financial innovation in Switzerland and beyond. The hackathon took place from June 28 to 30 in Zurich at the SIX Convention Center. 💡Around 100 participants from 15 countries worked on 5 challenges in under 48 hours, harnessing collective intelligence and collaboration to drive financial innovation on concrete market issues. 🎤The winning teams were able to pitch their ideas on various stages, including a VC side-event at Pestalozzi Attorneys at Law, in front of investors, politicians, entrepreneurs, and lawyers, as well as on the main stage of the Point Zero Forum in Zurich. 👤Pascale Bruderer, former President of the National Council, Vice-President of the ETH Board, and entrepreneur, delivered a keynote speech emphasizing Switzerland's attractiveness as a business location. 👥 The pitches were evaluated by a panel consisting of Georges Khneysser, Founder of QBIT Capital, Drew Propson, Head of Technology & Innovation in Financial Services at the World Economic Forum, Schuyler Weiss, CEO of Light Frame, Chetan Tolia, Managing Director and Head of UBS Next, and Alexander Fries, General Partner of Digital Twins Capital. 🎥 finance.swiss’ Tanya König interviewed the winning teams, as well as the initiator of SwissHacks and Head of FIND, Eva Selamlar-Leuthold, about what these platforms mean to them.

You probably hear this jargon all the time: make sure to have a diversified portfolio. But what does that even mean? In a series of posts I'm going to walk you investing basics from this slidedeck from BlackRock. Let's start with Saving vs. Investing When you save money, you are putting it away into a bank account (most likely) which has a low return, but also a low chance of losing money. This is, or should be, a short-term tactic for wealth management. Conversely, investments are a long-term strategy. They will be subject to market fluctuations over time, but if you keep your money in the market or other investments, then you should get a higher return than you would get from the interest in a savings account. The issue is that people are afraid of the market. Savings are great for financial safety (having an emergency fund) or for maintaining some money for you daily needs. Outside of that, it's not very useful. Only investments have the potential returns to create long-term wealth. Pay attention to more posts this week which will build upon this foundation. ___________________________________________________________ Hi!

Continuing the Digital Transformation stream of today's conference, Declan Sweeney and Daniel Hinkley (co-founders of CampusConnect) facilitated a really interesting discussion on digital communities and the best ways to facilitate them. A key takeaway for business schools is the importance and advantages of facilitating a community in one place where the data within it is freely available with no gating. #AMBABGA24 #digitalcommunities

THE POWER OF STORYTELLING. "I love this quote from Mr. Tony O. Elumelu, C.F.R Elumelu: 'I started as a nobody...but through luck, hard work, and being in the right place at the right time, I have come to see firsthand how success in business can help address societal needs.' But what resonates with me even more is the power of Mr. Tony Elumelu's STORY. His journey from humble beginnings to becoming a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist is a testament to the impact that one person's story can have on others. I believe that our stories have the power to inspire, to motivate, and to transform. When we share our stories, we share our experiences, our struggles, and our triumphs. We give others permission to dream, to strive, and to achieve. Imagine if we could tell more stories like Mr. Tony Elumelu's - stories of resilience, determination, and impact. Imagine the next generation of leaders we could inspire, the change we could drive, and the difference we could make. For me, the word 'story' comes alive because I believe that we are all products of our stories. Our stories shape us, define us, and propel us forward. So let's share our stories, let's celebrate our successes, and let's learn from our failures. That is why I am committed to writing stories of individuals and organizations - to immortalize their legacies, grow their customer base, and increase their revenues. I believe that storytelling is an art that can be leveraged to drive business results, while also inspiring and motivating others. Human beings naturally love listening to or watching stories. It is an inbuilt system in us, so when you tell a great story, it resonates with the human emotion. I am committed to telling great stories of great men and organizations to inspire the NEXT GREAT MAN or the NEXT GREAT ORGANIZATION. OUR STORIES SHOULD NOT DIE WITH US - THEY SHOULD LIVE EVEN WHEN WE ARE GONE! That was why Dr. Yinka Ayefele ensured his story was documented and I was privileged to document it. Let's raise the next generation of impact leaders by sharing the stories of those who have come before us. #Storytelling #Inspiration #Leadership #Impact #BusinessGrowth"
