Niesen Award 2018

Imagine you are doing an apprenticeship in one of the traditional Swiss banks and in parallel you are founding at the age of 18 your own startup for house keeping and gardening. Ali Cöcel has done this to become a very young entrepreneur. Today, 24 years old, he is employing 76 employees and has successfully taken over two other companies. Ali Cöcel won the Niesen Award 2018 at the 20th Swiss Economic Forum in June for his high risk taking, his extreme persistence and his explicit customer oriented approach.
