Dear Synetgizers,

We would like to express to you our best wishes for the Christmas season as well as the New Year. Furthermore we would like to thank all the active participants and speakers for making the start of the Synetgies network joyful and successful. As we are just three people who took the initiative, our impact is small. What Synetgies really is about, is the community, it’s every single active contributor in the network. It is therefore our greatest honour to express our special gratitude to those who have supported the community by sharing their experience and contributing their opinions during the events or just giving us valuable inputs and feedback. Most of the speakers have expressed their wish to join future events and we firmly believe that this can be interpreted as a measure of the value that group discussions among driven people from different backgrounds creates. Looking forward to the 2008 events to start in February, we remain,

sincerely yours,

Your Synetgies Team

Dear Synetgizers,

It is our greatest pleasure to re-launch the Synetgies blog today. After the success of our first four Synetgies “alpha” events, to which we only invited a selected group of students from the University of St. Gallen (HSG) and the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich (EHTZ), we have entered the “beta phase” and decided to enlarge the Synetgies community by re-launching our blog, opening it up to the public and widening the range of participants. The vision of Synetgies had therefore to be re-thought and now reads as follows:

“Synetgies is a network of young entrepreneurs and students from Swiss universities, universities of applied sciences and the two Swiss federal institutes of technology (ETH) who are interested in technology and entrepreneurship. Our goal is to foster entrepreneurial initiatives among students and link skills into new endeavours. Therefore, we organize periodical get-togethers in order to get to know one another, keep in touch and exchange ideas and information on cutting-edge developments from the relevant sectors.“

Respecting the fact that we don’t believe in the “Röstigraben”, want to cover the entrepreneurial community of all three main four language parts of Switzerland and would be happy to reach readers from outside the borders, this blog will be written in English. We want to provide our readers with quality insights on national and international topics in the areas of entrepreneurship and technology. We will regularly welcome contributions from distinguished guest authors and strongly encourage the community members to become active as authors themselves.

Looking forward into an energizing future, we remain,

sincerely yours,
Tiziano, Camille and Andi
