Bringing together diverse innovators of the Bernese region on Wednesday, 5 September 2012, Bern will highlight the various game players and industries of the Canton. A platform for discussion, Bern will connect people who would otherwise never cross paths.
As Bern and Switzerland’s first event in dialect, as well as English, Bern is aimed to turn the focus on innovation in and by the Bernese. Welcoming artists, researchers, philosophers and international businessmen and women to the stage, the afternoon will leave attendees inspired by the dynamic and international creativity sprouting in the region. With groundbreaking ideas rooted in Bern, the day will challenge common perception both about the world at large- and the capitol city.
