Forward-Thinking Companies Support Us.

Our Mission in 2026 & 2027

At connectUS, we explore how industries in transition are evolving through innovation, technology, and intercultural collaboration. We encourage students to better understand these developments and their impact on the way we work, produce, and create value.

In a rapidly changing world, our goal is to help future leaders think critically, broaden their perspectives, and contribute to a more innovative, responsible, and connected world.

Through key topics such as Energy Intelligence, Human-Centred Automation, Advanced Manufacturing, Industrial AI & Digital Trust, and Intercultural Experiences, we shed light on how data, intelligent systems, and global collaboration are reshaping industries while placing equal importance on sustainability, human value, and trust.

By connecting students with experts, companies, and communities in Switzerland and North America, we seek to foster dialogue, encourage critical thinking, and exchange ideas that contribute to resilient, innovative, and responsible industries.

Join us in rethinking how we power, create, collaborate, innovate, and trust.
