Alumni Chapter Zurich: Year-End and Outlook for 2026
Alumni Chapter Zurich: Year-End and Outlook for 2026
With a fourth meeting, the Zurich Alumni Chapter of the University of Liechtenstein concluded an eventful year 2025 on Thursday, 20 November. Over drinks and Asian snacks at Kitchen Republic Zurich, the team of Alumni Ambassadors was already making plans for 2026.
At this fourth meeting of the Zurich Chapter, former students from Architecture, Entrepreneurship, Finance, and Information Systems once again gathered. Once a quarter, alumni take the opportunity to expand their professional and personal networks on site, reconnect with former classmates, and exchange memories of their time studying. Together with the Alumni Officer of the University of Liechtenstein, Simone Brandenberg, ideas were also collected for a meeting in the first quarter of 2026 (details coming soon on the channels of the Alumni Community*).
Active Chapter in Zurich
Since the launch of the new Alumni Chapter format in Liechtenstein, Switzerland, Austria, and Germany at the end of 2024, the alumni hub in Zurich has also been represented by an active chapter. After a founding meeting in November 2024, the local alumni have already initiated two meetings themselves:
- In March 2025, Noah Bellwald, alumnus of the Master’s in Entrepreneurship, invited the Zurich Chapter as the organizer to the Talent Pitch Switzerland 2025 at the Volkshaus Zurich.
- And in June 2025, Entrepreneurship alumna Elena Weber brought together the alumni chapters of START Zurich and the University of Liechtenstein at a rooftop party overlooking Lake Zurich.
Alumni Ambassadors of the Zurich Chapter
At the founding meeting in November 2024 at YNOS Kitchen Bar Zurich, a team of Alumni Ambassadors came together to shape and bring the chapter to life alongside the Alumni Officer. The personal connection of the four alumni is meant to ensure the relevance of each chapter meeting for local alumni.
