Swiss SME Day 2017
The Swiss SME Day had been fully booked for weeks. Well over 1,200 participants came together at the Swiss SME Day on 27 October 2017.
At the same time as the SME Day, the SME Day Study 2017 was also published, in collaboration with OBT. On the occasion of the annual SME Day in St. Gallen, which in 2017 was held under the theme "SMEs - Confidence in Change", the University of St.Gallen (KMU-HSG) also publishes a thematically appropriate SME study with the support of OBT.
The latest edition shows how Swiss SMEs view change and market dynamics. The study can be obtained free of charge via the OBT website.
"Confidence in Change"
The theme of the SME Day 2017, "Confidence in Change", can be interpreted in two ways: One is having confidence in change or confidence itself is in change. In their study, the five authors from the University of St.Gallen (KMU-HSG) address both interpretations and look at the question of what attitude Swiss SMEs take to this topic.
With over 1,000 participants each year, the Swiss SME Day is one of the largest conferences for managers and entrepreneurs from small and medium-sized enterprises in Switzerland. Speakers included Wolfgang Jenewein, Gabriela Manser, Martina Gerster, Ludwig Hasler, Wolfgang Frick and Philipp Riederle. The day was moderated by Patrizia Laeri, with Hazel Brugger providing intermezzi. Urs Fueglistaller handed over his role as stage host to Tobias Wolf.
