Prix SVC Aargau Solothurn celebrates premiere in 2026
The SVC (Swiss Venture Club) will be awarding its prestigious SME prize in a ninth region from next year. With the Prix SVC Aargau Solothurn, a new, important economic region will receive its own award ceremony. As OC President, Robin Wasser (Head of Corporate & Real Estate Aargau/Solothurn, UBS Switzerland) will be responsible for organizing the award ceremony.
The Swiss Venture Club SVC, an independent, non-profit-oriented association of entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, is further expanding its entrepreneur awards: With the newly created Prix SVC Aargau Solothurn, the SVC aims to make this important and diverse economic region even more visible. Until now, SMEs from these two cantons have been integrated into different award ceremonies - from Espace Mittelland to Northern Switzerland and the Zurich economic region.
Award in spring 2026
The first edition of the Prix SVC in the new, ninth region of the SME network will take place in spring 2026. The OC has started preparations in close cooperation with the SVC office. Robin Wasser, who is also Head of Regional Corporate & Real Estate Banking at SVC Presenting Partner UBS, will act as host and OC President.
Robin Wasser is looking forward to the Prix SVC Aargau Solothurn: "Our region - with the energy canton of Aargau and the canton of Solothurn, which boasts successful companies in the precision engineering and watchmaking sectors, among others - is one of the strongest economic regions in Switzerland. Thanks to its strong industrial base, well-developed infrastructure and proximity to international markets, the region makes a significant contribution to the Swiss economy. It also offers attractive jobs and benefits from a well-trained skilled workforce. It is therefore high time that we offer the best SMEs from the two cantons their own showcase within the SVC in order to recognize their achievements and strengthen regional entrepreneurship."
Selection by a jury of experts
As with all Prix SVC awards, the companies nominated for the Prix SVC are selected by a jury of experts. Its members are independent, work in a practice-oriented manner and are strongly anchored in the respective region. More information on the composition of the jury in the Aargau Solothurn region and the location and date of the award ceremony will follow in the coming weeks.
The five finalists of the 1st Prix SVC Aargau Solothurn will be announced by the end of the year.
