Last week our annual “Best of EMBA UZH” Refresher took place and EMBA Alumni and Alumnae from many graduating classes joined the event to learn about cutting edge research from two of our EMBA lecturers – Prof. David Oesch and Prof. Sven Henkel. Sven`s exploration of hyper-personalized advertising reveals the fine line between relevance and discomfort, while David's analysis of the Benko/Signa Group crash highlights the critical importance of financial health and the impact of macroeconomic factors. Thought-provoking lessons in both marketing and financial analysis and a fantastic opportunity to meet again and network with the alumni community!
An Unforgettable Week of Innovation: EMBA UZH in Helsinki!
Last week, the EMBA UZH cohort embarked on an extraordinary journey to Helsinki, Finland—the Nordic epicenter of innovation, sustainability, cutting-edge technology, and happiness! (Finland was again crowned the happiest country in the world for the seventh consecutive year in 2024). Despite having a population smaller than New York City, Finland has produced an impressive array of multinational companies, and we had the privilege of visiting several of them. This transformative Learning Expedition was brimming with inspiration, insights, and unforgettable experiences—all in the company of some truly happy and visionary people.
Last week, we had the opportunity to visit the flying Swiss Army knife. Dufour Aerospacedevelops and builds so-called eVTOLs. The Aero2, which can take off and land vertically like a helicopter, flies as fast and energy-efficient as an airplane thanks to its unique tilt-wing design. The platform is designed for numerous applications, offering maximum flexibility and the highest safety standards at low operating costs.
The ability to transport up to 40 kg of payload over 400 km in standard configuration makes the aircraft the perfect tool for any mission.
