Business Travel Purchase
Business Travel Purchase Consulting is an independent advisory firm specialising in corporate travel and mobility procurement, programme design, and sourcing strategy.
We help organisations design travel programmes that are commercially sound, operationally robust, and aligned with real business behaviour. Our work sits upstream of booking and transactions, focusing on audits, RFPs, supplier negotiations, policy design, and programme governance.

IMC FH Krems
IMC Krems currently offers 16 bachelor and 13 master degree programmes – about 50 % of programmes are taught in English. Our programmes are closely linked to the university’s core focuses of business, health and science & technology.
In addition to a very practical academic education, we offer our students the opportunity to develop leadership qualities and soft skills in a particularly international study environment and to work on projects in small groups.
Therefore, we do not see ourselves as an “education factory” but offer knowledge transfer at eye level.

MCI Group
In our thirty-five plus years, we’ve sought new ways to define what it means to connect. This mindset has seen us grow from a Swiss meeting-logistics expert into a global agency collective, specialising in strategic communications, digital marketing and experiential events. During that time, we’ve helped many types of organisations – including associations, federations, brands, NGOs and governments to build thriving communities.
Today, the way the world connects is evolving rapidly. Innovation in technology and data has given rise to the relationship economy. This new era means we will see a massive transformation in the way people work, collaborate and consume, and how organisations create, innovate and sell. We must also commit to helping the world move forward sustainably.

ASNZA - Association Suisse du Net Zero Assets
We at the SWISS Association for NET ZERO Assets believe implementing ESG is all about co-creating investment opportunities and leveraging higher returns – not about ticking regulatory boxes with the risk of green washing the current business be it on the company or investment side.
The SWISS Association for NET ZERO Assets was founded by experienced practitioners in industry and financial services to move the needle towards more sustainable investment goals providing higher returns to ultimately shift the focus to where the money needs to flow – sustainable investments to achieve the common NET ZERO goal of 2030 the international community committed on – because there is no planet B.
