Your Professional Network with a Touch of Homeland
CometX is a Swiss nonprofit dedicated to hosting educational and social events for Czech and Slovak expats. We foster collaboration between academia and industry and help build your professional network. Our work creates a bridge of knowledge, talent and ideas between Switzerland and our home countries.
CometX Mission
Networking — Community Hub — Debates — Conferences
Business — Academia — Industry
CometX is an organization for Czech, Slovak and Polish expats, students, professionals, and all others living in Switzerland. Our goal is to connect people with each other, as well as with institutions and companies. We aim to support the personal growth of individuals with the potential to become outstanding leaders with a strong sense of civic responsibility. To achieve these objectives, we focus on networking activities that help individuals expand their business and personal connections. We also showcase the exceptional achievements of expats in Switzerland and their home countries, and bring attention to their activities. We foster discussions in various fields such as business, science, industry, art, economy, and current socio-political issues. The idea for CometX was born from a sense of disconnection from our home countries, fellow compatriots, and culture. Many of us moved to Switzerland for study, work, or personal reasons, and through CometX, we provide a unique opportunity for Czech, Slovak, and other foreign citizens to strengthen their network. We also offer information and support for a smooth transition to Switzerland, and help maintain local connections.

I love hearing stories from my countrymen and -women about their successful businesses or scientific research they run here in Switzerland. Their work is impressive by itself, but doing it in a foreign environment makes it even more inspiring!
Thanks to the organisers of CometX ⇢ Come and Meet Expats I got to hear their impressive stories for the 4th year in a row at the annual symposium of Slovak and Czech expats at ETH in Zurich! See you all next year!

I thank everyone who has given me wonderful attention - in such a great atmosphere at CometX ETH Zurich.
It was great for me to retrospectively go through my 30-year journey of business creation with my ideas. From aluminum to electricity to wood. I hope that even my theories on how to create through your own company have inspired you.
