“With the CV Labs Incubation Program, we are leveraging Switzerland’s pole position in the blockchain industry to bring the next generation of blockchain startups to this unique ecosystem. Blockchain as well as AI and IoT are all heralding a paradigm shift in technology.

These technologies will impact our lives deeply and place increased demands on transparency and security. We believe blockchain will act as the catalyst tying all these technologies together.”
