eLuxury Pitching Day

The eLuxury series of workshops is focused on innovative technologies and emergent business models within the luxury sector. It covers a wide section of the luxury market from jewelry, handcrafts and precision mechanics, including watchmaking, to luxury players in other segments such as cosmetics, vehicles, hospitality and more, bringing together leaders in the field to define strategic R&D guidelines for innovation as well as scouting and research projects of a future LifestyleTech Competence Center.

The workshops seek to identify the innovation requirements between and within companies in the sector, build bridges across different economic areas, including between investors and brands/retailers/manufacturers and also to connect all these businesses with upcoming and valid start-ups/scale-ups. The workshops represents an initial step towards the development of a LifestyleTech Competence Center, which would benefit all industry stakeholders within Switzerland and beyond.

 

WORKSHOP DETAILS

The start-ups selected during the previous workshop will be invited to pitch during this closed-door exclusive location in Switzerland. Participants will be able to select those most interesting for potential collaboration as well as confer an award on the best ones, including office space from the Dagorà Hub.
