Regional attention, but national vision, thanks to two mobile "bubbles".
The connecting element between the different locations consists of two mobile "bubbles" which, from time to time, in two or three locations per region act as event rooms and contact points for visitors.
Each region offers a varied program that specifically addresses the opportunities, needs and demands of the respective inhabitants.
In this way, the population is invited to explore digitization within a framework that is already familiar to them.

A “Greentech Startup Battle” to preserve our natural resources
The need for solutions that allow us to live, work and innovate more sustainably is becoming ever more pressing.

“herHack”, the hackathon returns to bring women closer to the tech professions
Encouraging the presence of women in technical professions is more important than ever in light of the growing shortage of skilled workers.
With a share of around 80 percent, men dominate the tech sector. It is even more difficult for women and other underrepresented groups to make their way in this area.
For this reason, after last year's resounding success, another edition of “herHack” will take place, this time in a hybrid form.
Switzerland's largest women's hackathon aims to inspire young people aged 18 and over and give them the opportunity to create a network of professionals who share their ideas and ambitions.
The hackathon is sponsored by UBS, Mobiliar, PMI Science, AMAG Innovation & Venture LAB and Amazon Web Services.

Children aged between 10 and 15 will learn about new technologies and methodologies and understand how they can help shape the digital future.
The event aims to encourage young people's interest in subjects in the fields of mathematics, information technology, natural sciences and technology (MINT), to introduce them to related professional fields and to help them identify new strengths and broaden their horizons.
