Review of Switzerland’s First Open Data Camp on Datavisualization.ch
After a lot has been discussed about Swiss open data at the opendata.ch Conference in June, Hannes Gassert, Oleg Lavrovsky, and I felt the time was ripe to bring designers, developers and ideators together to actually build something. We initiated a national two-day hackathon with the name make.opendata.ch , which was took place simultaneously in Zürich and Lausanne on September 30 and October 1 2011. We expected around 30 participants at each location, but were blown away by the response, and in the end over 100 people showed up. Photos by Frederic JacobsHub Zürich | Hub Zürich

Five Elements Capital ~ About us
Gottlieb Duttweiler laid the foundation stone for the "construction of an international educational and research institute" in 1962, shortly before his death. But the idea was much older than that. In 1946 (on Christmas Day), the legendary Migros founder and his wife Adele transferred their enormous Rüschlikon estate, Langhalden, to a foundation. The aim of building an institute on this site was already enshrined in the first deed of foundation. Inaugurated in 1963 – an event Duttweiler was no longer around to experience – the GDI was Switzerland's first independent think tank. With its choice of often controversial topics, it soon made a name for itself, also outside Switzerland.

Not only is Zurich one of the best places in the world to live, but it's also a great place to start a business. With its top-tier educational institutions, robust infrastructure, and business friendly administration, in many ways Zurich is the ideal place to launch a startup. There is a wealth of creative energy and entrepreneurial spirit in this area, but this sometimes gets lost in the perception that Zurich is simply a "banking town". Also, while there has long been an entrepreneurial scene here, it is somewhat of an exclusive club, and it can be particularly intimidating to non-locals, or aspiring entrepreneurs who want to learn the ropes before jumping in completely. We can change that! The goal of this group is to open up the entrepreneurial community, giving people a friendly and casual way to network, share ideas, and help each other succeed.
The Zurich Entrepreneur Meetup Group (Zürich) - Meetup
Lift11 is a three-day conference about current and emerging usage of digital technologies such as online communities, social media and casual games. Participants come to better understand the challenges and opportunities presented by digital technologies, and meet the people who drive these innovations. We gather entrepreneurs, managers, designers, students, geeks, researchers, thinkers and doers from around the world. The conference is open to all, and the diversity and quality of attendees is one of our key differentiating factors. The conference program allows you to discover new and emerging technologies, see real life examples of implementations in different contexts, and expand your horizons by exploring ideas from other fields and backgrounds.
