On 8 March 2025, International Women’s Day was celebrated in a truly special way at the Exclusive Nordic Business Ladies Brunch in Zurich. Hosted at the beautiful LUX Restaurant, the event brought together inspiring Nordic and Swiss women leaders to celebrate collaboration, leadership, and connection.

The morning featured inspiring opening remarks from the Guests of Honour — Madli Kahr (Lillemägi), Dr. med. dent. Marju Vunder, and Dame Tessy Antony-de Nassau — who shared authentic personal journeys, practical insights, and empowering perspectives on leadership and growth. Their contributions set a powerful and motivating tone for the day.

The brunch provided a vibrant networking platform, welcoming members from the Estonian, Finnish, and Swedish Chambers, alongside professionals from Switzerland, Luxembourg, Lithuania, and Ukraine. Against the backdrop of sunshine, panoramic views over Lake Zurich, and a warm, supportive atmosphere, meaningful conversations and new connections naturally flourished.

Special thanks go to Honorary Consul Michael Reiss von Filski LLM for his supportive address, which marked the official launch of the Nordic Ladies Brunch series — a new tradition aimed at strengthening connections among Nordic women in business. Appreciation is also extended to Anu-Maaria Calamnius-Puhakka and the Finnish-Swiss Chamber of Commerce for their valued collaboration.

The event was a powerful reminder of the strength of community and the impact of shared ambition — an inspiring start to a series that promises to grow in the years ahead.
