Fourth Edition of RiskON – a two-day challenge and learning experience on 1st and 2nd September 2026
RiskON aims to promote risk management in Switzerland through collaboration between students, industry experts and financial institutions. During the two-day hackathon, interdisciplinary teams of enthusiastic young master’s students from all Swiss universities and experts will work on real-life challenges in banking risk management. The goal is to develop concrete solutions, such as proofs of concept (PoC) or minimum viable products (MVP), which can then be further developed in practice. The focus is on current topics such as financial risks, non-financial risks and digital risks.
This is a two-day hackathon-like contest is organized by the Innovation Hub, N9 House of Innovation, with business partners such as Julius Baer, ZKB, LGT Private Bank, Pictet, Vontobel, EFG among others.
Joint innovation as the key to success
RiskON is an excellent opportunity to get closer to the banks’ common goal of ensuring a stable and resilient financial center and to bring their use cases and challenges into an ideation and innovation process. The potential of the Master’s and Executive students at Universities in Switzerland and beyond will thus be supported and promoted. It can also create initial contacts between the banks and interested students and increase the attractiveness of the topic of risk management among students.
