  • Drone Harmony Provides High-Quality Data Collection in the Most Challenging Scenarios /Episode 126

    Drones and their usage are definitely an endless source of inspiration for many entrepreneurs as well as investors. To learn more about the future of drones, the building of a team in the Ukraine and the investor landscape in Switzerland, Cédric visited Microsoft offices and had a refreshing conversation with Martin Fuchsberger, CEO & co-founder of Drone Harmony.


    Fuchsberger is a Computing Science PhD holder and an entrepreneurship enthusiast. After completing his studies in ETH in Zurich, he spent more than two years working for Swiss Federal Railways (@sbb.cff.ffs.ch) on the improvement of the rail traffic management system efficiency. For the same purpose he collaborated with Deutsche Bahn, and two years ago decided to move his career into the startup direction. After concluding that the corporate world was not as fast in doing innovation as he would have liked it to be, Fuchsberger decided to start a company with his two colleagues.

  • How Twint United the Biggest Swiss Banks /Episode 125

    To get an insight into the development of the digital payment process, Cédric travelled to Bern and met with Thierry Kneissler, CEO at Twint AG. The main topics they discuss in this interview are the future of financial transactions, the collaboration between the world’s biggest banks and how innovative Switzerland actually is.


    Thierry Kneissler built an impressive career in the banking industry. He studied Economics at the University of Bern and completed an MBA programme at the University of St.Gallen. After working for Post Finance for 11 years, Kneissler started leading Twint in 2014. What fascinates him the most about running a fintech startup is the opportunity to make changes and shape the future of the payment process.


    Twint AG develops innovative digital solutions in the Swiss financial sector. Twint app was a product of collaboration between two major Swiss fintech initiatives: Twint (supported by PostFinance) and Paymate. The idea soon gathered the biggest Swiss banks: UBS, Raiffeisen, Credit Suisse, PostFinance, Zurich Cantonal Bank and BCV. Nowadays, Twint app represents the digital cash of Switzerland and allows their users to benefit from quick money transactions. Watch the video below to find out more!

  • Advertima Merges Virtual and Physical World to Reach Out to Your Audience /Episode 122

  • Safer Than Ever: Simedis Has Developed a VR Medical Training Simulation /Episode 121

    To get a better insight into the startup scene in Eastern Switzerland we interviewed Matijas Cosic, CEO & co-founder at Simedis. In addition, we discuss the development of MedTech and the importance of networking! Make sure you don’t miss the video below!


    Matijas Cosic is coming from St.Gallen, where he finished his bachelor studies. To get his masters degree in Business Administration, Cosic continued his education in Zurich. Before he went down the entrepreneurship alley, Cosic worked for the Real Estate industry. He explains that he was very lucky to meet his current business partners during his masters studies and to start a company with them, Simedis.


    The team behind Simedis believe that the science and technology development has already reached a level that requires certain changes in medical training. As Cosic claims, it’s time for doctors to leave the learning of medical skills on humans in past and to use vivid simulation instead. That’s why Simedis produce virtual reality simulations for the medical training of doctors.

  • How Meteomatics Provides The Weather Forecast More Accurate Than Ever Before /Episode 119

    Some use it to catch their private moments, others for more important purposes, such as emergency response and rescue. Eventually, many claim that drones are changing the world and this is one of the topics we discuss in the interview with Dr. Martin Fengler, CEO & co-founder at Meteomatics. Don’t miss this episode!


    After completing a PhD in Applied Mathematics, Dr. Martin Fengler spent some time working as a technology and innovation leader in the private sector. More than six years later, as he said himself, he was full of ideas and decided to start and develop his own company, Meteomatics.


    Meteomatics applies drone usage to collect weather data and provide specific solutions for industries that rely and depend on the weather forecast. With many years of experience in the development of forecast systems and data processing, Fengler says that their aim is to provide a weather forecast more precise than has ever been provided before.
