The Next Era of IT Starts with Data Freedom
– Turning Old into Gold.
The Digital Lounge @ Lakeside is Back!
The Conversation Continues – Bolder, Smarter, More Impactful.
After three incredible editions, the Digital Lounge is back for its 4th annual summit in 2025 – bringing together top digital leaders, innovators, and changemakers to drive the future of transformation.
From its beginnings as an intimate gathering of forward-thinkers to becoming a must-attend event for industry pioneers, the Digital Lounge has grown into a premier platform for insights, networking, and innovation.
This Year’s Theme:
Free Your Data. Unlock Value. Transform with Confidence.
The IT landscape is evolving—fast. Siloed systems, outdated infrastructures, and rigid data landscapes are holding businesses back from achieving true agility and innovation. Data Freedom is the key to unlocking the full potential of your IT strategy. It’s about removing barriers, optimizing costs, ensuring compliance, and making data work for you—not against you.
At The Digital Lounge@Lakeside 2025, industry leaders, IT strategists, and digital innovators will gather to explore how turning old into gold can redefine the way we manage, migrate, and leverage data.
Data is your greatest asset—learn how to make it work smarter.

Showcasing Innovation with Swiss Engineering Partners AG
We’re thrilled to welcome Maurice Kaulich (CEO) and Mischa Buob (CTO) of Swiss Engineering Partners AG — an ETH Zurich spin-off that merges cutting-edge AI with Swiss engineering excellence.
Who They Are
Swiss Engineering Partners AG specializes in robotics, computer vision, process automation, and custom AI agents. Their mission: to modernize industrial production by automating repetitive, error-prone tasks — enabling precision, efficiency, and innovation.
Founded by ETH alumni, the leadership team brings deep expertise in robotics (Mischa), economics & technology (Maurice), and aerospace innovation (e.g. the electric e-Sling aircraft project and work with NASA). Their roots are in deep tech — and their solutions are designed for real-world industrial impact.
What to Expect at Digital Lounge 2025
At the event, Swiss Engineering Partners will present a live showcase of two autonomous robotic dogs, developed in collaboration with Stadler Rail, Buehler Group, and Data Migration International.
These AI-powered mobile robots are being developed to be used in Stadler’s production sites to automate critical inspection and support processes.
Visitors will experience these robotic systems in action — demonstrating how intelligent automation can be seamlessly integrated into smart factories and SAP-based ecosystems.
Meet the Experts on Stage
Maurice Kaulich will also take the stage in our AI & Robotics Panel: Driving Innovation through Real-World Use Cases, sharing practical insights into how industries can overcome barriers to AI adoption and drive transformation with real ROI.
