Promoting the beauty of Switzerland through innovation

Held at Taipei 101 Mall, from 4 to 19 June 2016, this exhibition takes guests on a fun and inventive journey showcasing the beauty of Switzerland and Swiss innovation.  

One of the exhibits is Switzerball, an art-installation by Charles Morgan, an Anglo-Swiss artist. Switzerball allows visitors to discover Switzerland in a fun and surprising way by following a metal ball. The installation has been shown in many countries including Milan at the World Expo 2015. Another highlight is Birdly, a world class full-body virtual reality (VR) experience, allowing guests to ‘fly’. This was born out of a design research project at the Zurich University of the Arts by Professor Max Rheiner, Fabian Troxler and Thomas Tobler.

“As Switzerland’s leading hospitality education provider, innovation is vital to the educational experience our students receive. We are thus delighted to collaborate with TOSI to spotlight on Switzerland’s reputation as a centre for innovation excellence,” commented Mr. Florent Rondez, Chief Executive Officer of Swiss Education Group, which is made up of five schools namely, César Ritz Colleges Switzerland, Culinary Arts Academy Switzerland, Hotel Institute Montreux, IHTTI School of Hotel Management and Swiss Hotel Management School.
