The Danish-Swiss Chamber of Commerce is delighted to invite you to an exclusive networking event in Lausanne with keynote speaker Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen, one of Denmark’s most visionary entrepreneurs. Join us for an inspiring evening as Mikkel shares the journey behind his world-changing enterprises and his ongoing mission to tackle some of the planet’s toughest challenges — from public health to climate change and connectivity.

Mikkel Vestergaard Frandsen is best known for transforming his family’s textile business into Vestergaard, a global leader in humanitarian innovation. Under his leadership, the company launched iconic life-saving products like LifeStraw and PermaNet, protecting millions of people from waterborne diseases and malaria.

Today, Mikkel continues to break new ground — most notably as founder of Sceye, a pioneering company using stratospheric platforms to bring internet connectivity, monitor climate change, and enable real-time environmen tal data from the edge of space. With Sceye, Mikkel is once again blending bold vision with scientific ingenuity to create lasting global impact.

This evening is an opportunity to hear firsthand how Mikkel’s passion, purpose, and entrepreneurial spirit have shaped two decades of innovation — and what he sees on the horizon.
