🌟 Reflecting on an unforgettable evening 🌟

Looking back on our #devigier award ceremony, we're filled with pride and gratitude. This year, the judges faced tough decisions, leading to an unexpected yet wonderful outcome: six deserving winners instead of the usual five! 🎉✨ The sixth prize was donated by the Medien- und Unternehmungsförderungsstiftung FERS from Berne 💛 Thank you! And many thanks to Simon Ittig for taking us back in time, offering authentic and encouraging insights into his very successful startup journey.

Our six winners are impressive personalities, each bringing game-changing solutions for our society. Let's also remember the four outstanding nominees who didn't win this time. We have no doubt we'll be seeing great things from them in the future. 🌟💪

A big thank you to everyone who made this event possible – together, we're driving forward the future of innovation and entrepreneurship in our country 🚀 🇨🇭 

And last but not least: bye bye dearest Carmen Lamparter, to new adventures (literally - she's going on a road trip through Africa with her husband and young child 🚗 🌍)! You have been a wonderful COO.
