Side Events

Join us for an exclusive, invite-only SwissHacks Celebration Night, a festive networking side event to the Point Zero Forum, co-hosted by AMINA Bank, and in collaboration with Nordic Fintech Week and Pestalozzi Attorneys at Law.

​This evening brings together a global audience of innovators, regulators, and investors for a unique blend of fresh ideas, expert insights, and meaningful connections — all set in a beautiful location on the shores of Lake Zurich.

What to Expect

​17:30 Doors Opening

​18:00 Welcoming Words

​18:15 SwissHacks Winner Pitches

We’ll hear from the winners of SwissHacks, Switzerland’s premier government-backed hackathon, conceptualized and organized by the Swiss Financial Innovation Desk (FIND), powered by Tenity. 

The six winning teams will pitch their innovative prototype solutions developed in just 48 hours during SwissHacks, showcasing how the latest solutions are solving real-world problems in the financial industry.

​18:40 Panel Discussion: “Smart, Safe & Scalable: Building & Sustaining Trust”

Following the pitches, a high-calibre panel discussion will explore the pressing question for financial players (both big and small): how to build & sustain trust. Trust comes in many different shades and is essential to scale, collaborate with the financial industry and integrate into the digital economy. But how is trust built when disruptive players and technologies are new and unproven?

​The panel will feature thought leaders from fintech, academia, regulation, and public policy, and will be moderated by Tanya König, Swiss TV host and journalist. 

​19:10  Networking Dinner

​The evening will conclude with a relaxed networking dinner overlooking Lake Zurich — the perfect moment to continue the conversation, meet fellow guests, and enjoy an evening with leaders of the Swiss and global financial ecosystem.
