Navigating in a Shifting World Order

In an era marked by geopolitical shifts, technological acceleration, and evolving market dynamics, the Schulthess Forum Venture Capital brings together leading investors, founders, and legal experts to explore the pressing questions shaping the future of Swiss innovation. This year’s forum dives deep into the challenges and opportunities of European DeepTech amid global realignments, offering a timely market update on Swiss and European VC trends.

We spotlight the evolving landscape of university spinoff policies, with a special focus on ETH Zurich, and revisit key evergreen topics including Convertible Loan Agreements (CLAs), earn-out protections, and exit strategies that align founder incentives with long-term success.

Finally, we tackle the increasingly relevant question of the “Flip to the US”—examining the strategic, legal, and financial considerations of relocating or expanding across the Atlantic.

Join us for a day of insight, debate, and connection at the forefront of venture capital in Switzerland and Europe.
