Submissions must be unique and not have been published elsewhere prior. Freedom to re-publish after is permitted but content must carry the caveat “first published on www.swissfinte.ch”.

What you should consider when writing a Insight Articles

Content must have a clear connection to the theme of finance and technology with a Swiss focus. Content must be factual and of topical interest to our members e.g. opportunities for Swiss FinTech startups, the perspective of investors in Swiss FinTech, regulatory and public policy issues, themes and upcoming changes that will impact the local community, etc. Views and opinions are also encouraged.

Articles should be submitted in Word document format only (not PDF format). Approximately 400-750 words in length and can include high quality graphics and tabular information (all usual formats accepted). An author photo, max. 100 word bio, email address and telephone should be provided with the submission. You can tell us what you want to be shown (e.g. only name).

We also accept if an author does not want that his name is mentioned but we keep the right to decline inappropriate articles.

Articles will be published here, then promoted via the e-newsletter and social media (i.e. Twitter and LinkedIn). All published content remains accessible from the archive thereafter.
