Leaders of the Pack: Five out of Six Nominees for Prix SVC 2018 Switzerland East Hail from the SGBA

Just in time before Christmas came the announcement of the finalists competing for this year’s entrepreneurial award of Eastern Switzerland of the Swiss Venture Club, the “Prix SVC 2018”. The nominations were like a present for the St.GallenBodenseeArea (SGBA): Vying for the recognition as most innovative and versatile SME of Eastern Switzerland, all finalists except one (the modular sustainable building specialist Uffer AG from Savognin, Grisons) hail form the SGBA.

Büchi Labortechnik, an international developer and manufacturer of a diverse range of lab technology applications and solutions from Flawil in the canton of St.Gallen, Corvaglia, a manufacturer of innovative cap solutions (for PET bottles, e.g.) from Eschlikon in the canton of Thurgau, as well as HB-Therm, a world leading manufacturer of temperature control equipment, MS Direct Group, Swiss market leader in digital customer relations management, and Namics, a full-service digital agency, all from the city of St.Gallen, will be present at the awards ceremony at Olma Messen St.Gallen on March 8th.  When they take the stage, not only will they hope to win the prestigious Prix SVC in front of an audience of 1000 guests from the ranks of business, politics, science, and culture. The six companies also leave their mark as ambassadors for a diverse and dynamic SME scene providing valuable insights into the top quality of corporate cultures, their ties to regional businesses and commitment to ecological sustainability as well as high-quality job creation in the SGBA. „They represent the extraordinary achievements of so many SME in Eastern Switzerland’s business area“, said SVC President Andreas Gerber and Christoph Zeller, SVC Director Eastern Switzerland in a joint statement.

In addition to great visibility and networking opportunities, the winners of the biyearly event will enjoy great prizes like a corporate field trip to Asia, participation in an international trade fair in the U.S. or an educational journey for professionals to Dubai/Abu Dhabi. And as a special treat, the overall winning company will be automatically nominated for the Swiss „Entrepreneur of the Year“-Award of E&Y in November 2018.
