A curated network of ca. 80 high-potential finance professionals aged 30–40 — Zurich's emerging platform for young leadership in financial services. Where tomorrow's financial leaders connect.
The NextGen Business Club Zurich is a deliberately small, high-calibre network of finance professionals aged 30–40 who are already in leadership roles or on a clear senior trajectory.
We exist to connect tomorrow's decision-makers today — creating a trusted peer community within Zurich's financial services ecosystem, spanning future decision-makers across the sector from front to back office.
Admission by application or referral only.
*Excluding programs such as apprenticeships, graduate talent programs, working students or interns.
Exclusive, independent and for members only. The network is the point — we create the rooms where peers and senior leaders connect, on equal footing.
An intimate seated dinner for members. Relationship-building at its best — small enough that every conversation matters.
Structured peer discussion on a key financial or macroeconomic theme. Candid and member-led.
A high-level speaker from C-suite, policy or academia, followed by member Q&A and a curated apéro.
Together, we bring combined networks across Vontobel, Julius Bär and Zurich's broader financial ecosystem.
From founding sponsors to a full 80-member cohort — and beyond.
