Nordic Chambers’ Event – Sport and Leadership - Cham

The Chamber of Commerce Finland-Switzerland and the Norgesklubben Sveits in collaboration with the Nordic Chambers, invite you to an inspiring evening dedicated to Sport and Leadership.

The event will focus around the four core pillars of OYM – Athletic Training, Athlete Health Management, Nutrition and Research & Development – and will explore how the principles of elite sports can be translated into the business world.

We’re particularly excited about the opportunity to bridge the gap between high-performance sports and high-achieving business environments: What can top executives learn from elite athletes?

Moreover, this event provides an excellent platform for Nordic businesses, researchers, and healthcare professionals to connect with the Swiss community, exchange expertise, and explore new partnership opportunities.

By reserving a spot for the OYM tour, participants can visit this privately funded elite sports academy and gain a high‑level introduction to its concept, architecture, and performance‑driven training environment.
