«Friends» is a network for entrepreneurs who want to actively shape the future of entrepreneurship in Europe. Founded over 20 years ago, it is now an (inter)national network with around 100 members. Its aim is to strengthen national and international relationships and thus promote entrepreneurship.

The name «Friends» emphasises the connection to Lucerne Dialogue. The basis for far-sighted decisions becomes broader and more stable when you can draw on a diverse spectrum of views, opinions and information. And this is what Lucerne Dialogue stands for: we bring generations, sectors and nations into a controversial dialogue and address the most pressing issues of our time.

• Participation in the Lucerne Dialogue Annual Meeting (2 days).
• Exclusive exchange with the participants of the Basecamp in the run-up to the Annual Meeting on the traditional Boat Cruise.
• Exclusive business trip (2-3 days) to a European country. The focus is on dialogue with business, science and politics.
• Inspiring networking at one or two networking events during the year.
• Invitation to the "Meet-up" series of events (thematic impulses from the business world) and "Soirée Dialogue" (economic networking in neighbouring countries)
• 50% discount on the conference ticket for the European Forum Alpbach.

The network brings together leaders from national and international companies who are actively committed to entrepreneurship in Europe and have an interest in strong national and international relationships. And in keeping with Lucerne Dialogue's DNA, "Friends" also focuses on cross-generational dialogue: it is a network for current AND future leaders.
