The swissnexDay is the annual signature event of the swissnex Network in Switzerland: Come to Zurich on 11 December 2018 for a unique opportunity to meet the Swiss global network for education, research and innovation.
By gathering stakeholders from academia, government, business and media around Blockchain, the swissnexDay’18, co-organized with swissnex China, will showcase the ability of the swissnex Network to support the outreach and active engagement of our partners in the international exchange of knowledge, ideas and talent.
In order to discuss how Blockchain technology will affect our society and Switzerland’s education, research and innovation landscape, we will count on top speakers and panelists from academia, private sector and policy making to debate specific applications of the Blockchain technology from fintech and cryptocurrencies and beyond.
