SEF.Growth Event with IPI
29 April 2025 | 11am | Westhive, Hardturmstrasse 161, Zurich
SEF.Growth Event with IPI

US companies are lining up for Brian Rüeger and his two start-up colleagues. In 2000, the Zurich trio created a technology that revolutionised text messaging. The messenger was then mobilised worldwide by AOL and Microsoft. The registered patent became so valuable that the start-up's office was even broken into.

Rüeger, now Rector of the HWZ Zurich School of Business, takes us on a journey through this fascinating business story. It is as relevant today as ever and shows the key role played by the protection of intellectual property.
