On October 2, 2025, over 200 decision-makers, investors, and founders gathered at the Forbes Women’s Summit 2025 held at the Park Hyatt in Zurich. It was a day full of different viewpoints, courage, and inspiration with one clear outcome: Diversity remains a key success factor for the economy and innovation.
Covering topics ranging from health tech to law, the media, mobility, and artificial intelligence, the speakers demonstrated to what degree diversity promotes progress and facilitates sustainable success. Of particular interest were discussions about AI and the opportunities it provides for an inclusive future.
smzh was also a part of the summit:
Bekim Laski, CFA, our Chief Investment Officer, spoke about Holistic Wealth Advice, gaps in financial products for women, and how confident investing can lead to success.
Prof. Dr. Florim Cuculi, Head of Cardiology at the Luzerner Kantonsspital and Member of the smzh Advisory Board, discussed the differences between female and male hearts – little discussed to date – and their significance for cardiology.

At the Forbes Women’s Summit 2025, Florim Cuculi, Head of Cardiology at the Luzerner Kantonsspital, spoke about cardiovascular diseases in women and how they differs from such illnesses in men. Cuculi highlights that women often show atypical symptoms, which are frequently overlooked. Differences in medical education and arterial structure can lead to misdiagnosis and inappropriate treatment. He also discusses how artificial intelligence and big data can help better understand gender differences and improve patient care. His advice: health is our most valuable asset – symptoms should never be ignored to prevent potentially life-threatening consequences.
