This year's Kellerhals Carrard impulse aperitif was also a resounding success. Bern branch manager Mario Marti welcomed a record number of over 700 guests from politics, business, and culture to the Kursaal Bern.
The Bonny Foundation's Freedom Prize, endowed with CHF 100,000, was awarded to the founders of the Institute for Swiss Economic Policy (IWP), Christoph Schaltegger and René Scheu. In his laudatory speech, KC Chairman and Vice President of the Foundation, Beat Brechbühl, praised them "as educational entrepreneurs with skin in the game, who act with thought and think with action, united in the conviction that freedom is not a state but a task." The award winners expressed their gratitude with humor and poignancy.
Another highlight was the keynote speech by SRG Director General Susanne Wille. She spoke about the role of the media in the digital age, balancing freedom, responsibility, and public service.
