Swiss Scaleup Executives Summit 2026

The annual flagship event of the Swiss Startup Association's Scaleup Chapter: a highly curated morning bringing together 40–50 senior executives (CxOs and VPs) from Switzerland's most ambitious scaleups.

This year, the Summit opens the first day of Startup Nights on Thursday, 5 November 2026, at the Wintower in Winterthur.. Following our community's feedback, we're putting less emphasis on traditional conference content and more on practical insights and real peer exchange. Short expert inputs share concrete knowledge, benchmarks and use cases (no sales pitches), while small executive roundtables let you exchange experiences and learnings with peers facing the same scaleup challenges.

❗Your ticket also gives you access to Startup Nights. And with the code you get 20% off the full Startup Nights ticket at checkout.
