  • SVIT Switzerland with new management

    SVIT Switzerland with new management

    With the handover of the chairmanship from Andreas Ingold to Michel Molinari, SVIT Switzerland has completed a significant generational change. Molinari, previously Vice President and CEO of BLKB Fund Management AG, is thus assuming responsibility for an association with over 2,600 members. At the same time, Cécile Berger-Meyer and David Zumsteg were elected to the presidency. Their predecessors, Andreas Ingold and Jean-Jacques Morard, were made honorary members for their many years of commitment.

    An association on the move
    2024 was an intensive year, with targeted political positioning, strategic projects such as the DACH cooperation and the tenancy law commentary. The successful new edition of “SVITPedia” and a high demand for training have made SVIT Switzerland a dynamic and adaptable organisation. The “eduQua” certification was renewed and training courses and examinations were successfully organised in all parts of the country.

    Strategic clarity and strong operational
    The positive development of the association over the past eight years is due to clear strategic decisions and the professionalisation of structures. The separation of strategy and operations, the introduction of a CEO model and the reorganisation of the Forum, Campus and Summit platforms have created a stable foundation. A strategic action plan for positioning has been developed and is currently being implemented. The aim is to further increase the visibility and effectiveness of the association.

    Political relevance strengthened
    The 2025 Delegates’ Meeting once again demonstrated the growing political relevance of SVIT Switzerland. The delegates approved a motion to no longer conclude sponsorship agreements with Swiss Marketplace Group AG in future. Current contracts will also be cancelled until they expire. The association is thus sending out a signal in favour of independence and clear representation of the industry’s interests.

    Visible, present, consistent
    With its new leadership and strengthened position, SVIT Switzerland aims to further expand its role as a leading professional and industry association. The three strategic pillars of training, politics and networking form the stable foundation for a future-orientated commitment. The Assembly of Delegates as part of the Swiss Real Estate Forum also provided the right stage for this in 2025, with inspiring impulses from personalities from politics, sport and business.

  • Cancellation “SVIT Digital Day

    Cancellation “SVIT Digital Day

    In 2022, the “SVIT Digital Day” was held in parallel to the aforementioned real estate trade fair at the Zurich Congress Centre. With the discontinuation of this platform, the association has decided to return to the original location “Kosmos Zurich” with the “SVIT Digital Day” in 2023. Unfortunately, the news reached us in December 2022 – and you have certainly also read it in the press – that the operation of “Kosmos Zürich” was discontinued with immediate effect and the balance sheet was deposited with the bankruptcy court because the debt burden and costs were too high. It was no longer possible to put the operation on a sound footing.

    The message also has drastic consequences for the “SVIT Digital Day”, because the acquisition of an adequate infrastructure at the same cost and in the same time frame is very difficult and challenging. The time factor in particular has contributed to SVIT Zurich suspending the trade fair day for 2023. In parallel, ideas have emerged in the “SVIT Digital Commission” to create a new networking platform for 2024 in a clean and orderly manner. The event is to be launched in the first half of 2024 and include various topics relating to business. We are convinced that we will be able to create another forward-looking and attractive platform. We would be happy to inform you about the planned intentions and contents if you are interested.
