Dare to Shape Tech

Dare to Shape Tech

Join us for a community event exploring how people with a migration background can help shape the future of technology.

Who gets to shape the future of technology?

Many highly skilled tech professionals with a migration or refugee background bring valuable expertise, international experience, and fresh perspectives to Switzerland. Yet too often, they face barriers such as limited local networks, unfamiliar hiring practices, and a rapidly changing job market shaped by AI.

Dare to Shape Tech 2026 brings together migrant and refugee tech professionals, employers, mentors, and community organizations to explore how international talent can thrive—and help shape the future of technology in Zurich.

During the evening, we'll discuss career opportunities in the age of AI, building professional networks, the value of diverse perspectives in innovation, and how companies can better attract and support international talent.

We will also officially launch the Dare Two Mentorship Program, connecting experienced professionals with migrant and refugee tech talent to support long-term career growth and integration into Zurich's tech ecosystem.
