Who are you and what do you do?

Ergon is a Swiss leader in leveraging digitalisation to create unique client benefits - from the initial idea right through to market success.

Our highly-qualified experts develop user-friendly, custom software as well as proven, off-the-shelf products that are deployed worldwide by clients in a variety of sectors.

Sustainability: We make decisions that pursue long-term business goals—for employees, customers, and partners.

Why do you support VIScon?

Interacting with the next generation, nurturing new talent, learning from them, and sharing our knowledge are key aspects of our ethos. VIScon allows us to achieve these goals.

We had the privilege of supporting VIScon over the past years as one of the event's main sponsors. It provides significant added value, as well as in-depth insight into a wide range of topics and practical techniques.

Ergon has committed to shaping a successful tomorrow for the next generation. We're keen to share our experience, whether on technical or entrepreneurial matters, and answer any questions you may have about working life. We look forward to comparing notes at a successful VIScon 2024.
