We Could Not Do What We Do Without You

On Wednesday, June 5, 2024, we hosted our annual Jade Dinner, a festive evening of dining and conversation, where we recognize our Patrons, Corporate Members, Partners and Friends, who make the work of our organization possible. We thank all of them for joining us for this wonderful evening, and for their ongoing support, which enables us to fulfill our mission of fostering Asia Competence in Switzerland. 

We have accomplished so much over the past year thanks to you!

Special Thanks

We also wish to thank our distinguished keynote speaker, Ivo Germann, Head of the Foreign Economic Affairs Directorate at the State Secretariat for Economic Affairs, who shared his vision of Swiss-Asia economics ties and dynamics.

Our thanks also go to our outstanding group of Connectors: Alice Wang, Lhaki Dolma, Etsu Egami, Manali Kumar, Nina Mohadjier, Giada Olivotto, Alexander Gabuev, Philippe Le Corre, Jonas Rüegg, and Patrick Zoll, who generously shared their insights and expertise across the fields of arts, culture, diplomacy, or policy with our guests.

Lastly, we also thank our wonderful Master of Ceremony, Fellow on Monetary Policy at the Council on Economic Policies and Gen A Alumna Isabelle Zheng, who gracefully lead us through the evening.

What a Pleasure This Has Been

It was a true pleasure and privilege to share the evening in such an incredible group of people who recognize the need for enhanced Asia Competence in Switzerland and generously support our work. We can only be what we strive to be – a society – with all of you on board. Thank you!

We look forward to seeing you again at the Jade Dinner 2025!
