Taking part in the 54th World Economic Forum in Davos was a significant experience for LANE Digital. As a Swiss company specializing in digitalization, this event marked an important milestone in our development. It offered us the exceptional opportunity to interact directly with the global digital ecosystem and share our perspectives as Swiss consultants.
At the World Economic Forum 2024 in Davos, from January 15 to 19, our team had the great pleasure of meeting key partners from major Swiss cities such as Geneva, Lausanne, Zurich, Bern, Zug and Basel. These interactions enriched our understanding of digitalization within Swiss SMEs, thanks to discussions with local experts who share our passion for digital innovation. This adventure has not only consolidated our status as a digitalization consultancy, but also our roots in Switzerland's technology ecosystem.
Our invitation to the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2024 in Davos was first and foremost the result of a fruitful collaboration with Digitalswitzerland, a leading organization in the field of digitalization in Switzerland. This collaboration testifies to our commitment to the country's digital transformation. Digitalswitzerland, an organization recognized for its active role in promoting digital innovation in Switzerland, chose us for our expertise in the field of digitalization for Swiss companies. This invitation was the fruit of a solid partnership, and opened the doors for us to an event of international stature, the WEF 2024 in Davos.
Our participation in the World Economic Forum (WEF) 2024 was also enriched by invitations to parallel events, notably those organized by women-led entities such as the "Female Quotient". This organization contributed significantly to our experience by integrating us into debates and meetings focused on gender equality and female leadership. The "Female Quotient" initiative, with its "Equality Lounge" in Davos, offered a privileged space for dialogue and the exchange of ideas, underlining the importance of inclusion and diversity in the economic and social spheres. This participation not only enriched our understanding of global issues, but also highlighted the positive impact of women-led organizations at the WEF.
