2025 Summer School in Switzerland

The Switzerland program introduced participants to key business disciplines through interactive lectures, case-based discussions, and applied group work. Topics ranged from innovation and leadership to marketing, supply chain, and financial decision-making, offering a broad yet practical foundation for understanding the dynamics of global business.

Participants visited several prominent Swiss companies, including URMA, UBS, Bühler, Stadler Rail, and SFS Group. These visits offered direct exposure to industry practices, strategic challenges, and leadership perspectives across manufacturing, banking, and technology sectors. In addition, visits to IWC Schaffhausen, the Lindt Home of Chocolate, and the Schützengarten Brewery provided valuable insights into Swiss excellence in luxury goods, branding, and heritage-based innovation.

Cultural highlights included a guided tour of St.Gallen’s historic center, a group evening at Hof Notkersegg, and an excursion to the Rhine Falls with a farewell dinner in Schaffhausen. A special highlight was the Summer School Alumni Dinner in Zurich, which brought together around 80 participants in total, connecting current students with former editions and reinforcing the strength of our international network.
