FIABCI-SUISSE Newsletter May 2023

Welcome by the President

Dear members of FIABCI-SUISSE

For over a year now, the global geopolitical and economic situation has changed, and numerous legislative, environmental and energy challenges continue to put us to the test.

The real estate industry has always had to adapt to various changes, especially today. Our profession must constantly face new challenges and evolve. This also applies to our association. We have to reinvent ourselves to keep up with the times, but at the same time preserve our values and our identity. This year has also seen changes and challenges in our Board of Directors, but we are overcoming them together, because together we are strong. At our upcoming General Assembly, we will explain our vision and propose solutions for the future.

Throughout the year, we were delighted to see so many of you at our FIABCI events. Openness and constant dialog offer members the opportunity to gain knowledge on a national level and beyond our borders while building business relationships. The FIABCI-SUISSE Board always does its best to organize the best conditions for these meetings. Visits to emblematic projects, presentations on exciting topics and numerous discussions on innovative ideas should provide you with a unique opportunity to benefit from the FIABCI network. For this reason, we would like to thank all of you, our members, the entire Board, our Secretariat and our entire professional community for your cooperation and your valuable contribution to the life of our chapter.

I would also like to thank our sponsors for their valuable support and consistently good cooperation.

We look forward to welcoming you at our General Assembly on June 16 in Bern and, in the meantime, send you "pre-summer" greetings!
 



Vitali Bekker, President interim

FIABCI-LUNCH 2023
The private visit to "Lindt Home of Chocolate" in Kilchberg (ZU)
More than just chocolate !

On Thursday, April 20, 2023, the FIABCI lunch took place in the canton of Zurich, at the new "Lindt Home of Chocolate" in Kilchberg.
During the private tour of the new building and the Swiss Chocolate Museum, we learned a lot about the history of chocolate, the new building and, of course, chocolate tasting.
The architecture and design of the building, as well as the history of Lindt, impressed all participants. Around 30 participants traveled to attend this convivial event in the FIABCI-SUISSE community.
A big thank you to the museum staff for the welcome and to our many members who enjoyed this chocolaty experience.
