Created in 2010 as a primary international platform, the Zermatt Summit promotes a constructive, action oriented dialogue between key stakeholders from different universes who share the same purpose.

Its role is to inspire, connect and empower high profile entrepreneurs, economists, political and spiritual leaders and NGO representatives who strive to be catalysts of a more inclusive and human globalization.

Through a uniquely designed program, the Zermatt Summit team takes participants on an intense three-day journey to share a vision for a better soci-ety, develop models for a more human and sustain-able world and change their hearts and minds in the process.

The Zermatt Summit Foundation is an independent non-profit organisation of public interest recog-nized by the Swiss Government. It is committed to changing the hearts and minds of leaders for a more human and sustainable world.

Since 2010, it has empowered, inspired and con-nected over 800 leaders who want to put meaning in their actions and “humanize globalization”.

The Zermatt Summit Foundation engages its com-munity and promotes values such as the dignity and value of people, reciprocity, integrity, solidarity & fairness, sustainability, accountability and cour-age. It fosters responsible participation of all of so-ciety’s stakeholders and engages them to serve the common good and the human person.

PREVIEW 2014
