Swiss banking Group Mirabaud has renewed its partnership with La Savane, a media network dedicated to entrepreneurship and business leadership, extending a collaboration designed to encourage dialogue among Switzerland’s entrepreneurs, investors and innovators.
Announced on October 5, 2026, the renewed agreement will see Mirabaud return as the main partner for La Savane’s fourth season. The collaboration will also expand beyond digital programming through entrepreneur gatherings in Geneva and Zurich, bringing together business leaders from different regions and industries.
The partnership reflects Mirabaud’s longstanding involvement with Switzerland’s entrepreneurial community and its emphasis on supporting business owners through investment, wealth management and succession planning.
Mirabaud Connects Switzerland’s Entrepreneurial Communities
Founded in 2023, La Savane Network produces content focused on entrepreneurship, marketing and leadership. Its programming features conversations with founders, executives and other decision-makers about the experiences and challenges involved in building businesses.
The network comprises three complementary podcasts:
- La Savane explores entrepreneurial journeys, including the decisions, setbacks and lessons that shape business development;
- SHIFT focuses on marketing leadership, covering subjects such as strategy, technology, artificial intelligence and organizational change;
- Leaders highlights a new generation of Swiss decision-makers and innovators.
The renewed partnership with Mirabaud will support La Savane’s fourth season while helping the network broaden its reach beyond French-speaking Switzerland.
Alexandre Weber and Max Andersson, co-founders of La Savane, identified expansion into German-speaking Switzerland as an important next step. They also highlighted the value of Mirabaud’s network in facilitating conversations among participants from different professional and regional backgrounds.
The planned events in Geneva and Zurich will complement the podcast programming by providing opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors and business leaders to meet directly.
Louis Fauchier-Magnan and Michael Hoesli, who lead Mirabaud’s private banking activities in French-speaking and German-speaking Switzerland respectively, emphasized the importance of continuing these exchanges.
“We are delighted to renew our partnership with La Savane. This second year of collaboration will enable us to continue the discussions we have begun and to create new opportunities for those who play an active role in Switzerland’s economic dynamism to meet,” they said in Mirabaud’s October 5 announcement.
The involvement of leadership from both linguistic regions reflects the partnership’s objective of encouraging connections across Switzerland’s entrepreneurial communities.
A Shared Commitment to Business Development
Mirabaud’s relationship with entrepreneurs extends beyond its involvement with La Savane.
Founded in Geneva in 1819, the family-owned banking Group has maintained close relationships with business owners and their families throughout its history. Its wealth management activities include investment advice, wealth planning and support for clients navigating significant financial transitions.
For entrepreneurs, those transitions may involve business expansion, the sale of a company or the transfer of wealth between generations.
Mirabaud’s private assets offering provides another connection to the entrepreneurial economy. Through its Swiss and international networks, the Group identifies investment opportunities in unlisted companies, giving clients access to private market investments while contributing to the financing of businesses.
This approach can be particularly relevant to entrepreneurs who understand the challenges associated with developing and financing a company.
The partnership with La Savane complements these financial activities by creating opportunities for knowledge-sharing and professional connections. Rather than focusing exclusively on investment services, the collaboration supports conversations about the broader experiences of entrepreneurship.
Building Relationships Beyond Financial Services
The fourth season of La Savane will be distributed through major streaming and broadcasting platforms, including Spotify and YouTube.
The addition of in-person gatherings represents a further development in the partnership. While podcast episodes allow entrepreneurial experiences to reach a broad audience, the events in Geneva and Zurich are intended to encourage direct exchanges between participants.
The geographic expansion also creates opportunities to bring together individuals from Switzerland’s French-speaking and German-speaking business communities.
For Mirabaud, the collaboration aligns with its four core values of Independence, Conviction, Responsibility and Passion. The Group has maintained its family-owned structure for more than two centuries while developing an international presence in wealth management and asset management.
Its continued support for La Savane reflects an approach to entrepreneurship that encompasses both financial services and the professional networks through which businesses exchange ideas and develop relationships.
As La Savane enters its fourth season, the renewed partnership provides a platform for entrepreneurs to share their experiences, explore common challenges and strengthen connections across Switzerland’s business landscape.
