Tuesday 21 April | 6.30 pm – 9.00 pm
Official Opening Event of The Swiss Weeks 2026
Innovation Fair & Evening Reception
Switzerland is globally recognised as the world’s #1 most innovative nation - and a significant part of that success is found in what you eat and drink every day. Today, the Food & Beverage sector is the second-largest driver of Swiss patent applications, proving that our "national kitchen" is actually one of the world’s most sophisticated laboratories.
Join us for an exclusive evening reception at Capitol Theatre, The Capitol Kempinski Hotel Singapore, where Swiss-linked Innovators take centre stage - Each with their own dedicated exhibition space to explore, taste, and discover. Move through the evening at your own pace, stopping to engage with these visionaries that are quietly reshaping what ends up on your plate and in your glass.
From cutting-edge food technology to culinary craft, every stop on the evening's journey offers something to taste, something to learn, and something to talk about. Throughout the evening, guests can enjoy a specially curated buffet by the Capitol Kempinski of Swiss inspired dishes, prepared with locally sourced ingredients from Singapore. This is not just a dinner reception. It is an evening designed for curiosity.
