The Swiss democratic model: the success formula and inspiration for Belgium The elections in Belgium are approaching, and the result could be very complicated. Today, most of the discussion is on the problems, however it is much more inspiring to think about possible solutions for our country. Therefore, we think it is timely to have a debate with examples and templates that could help our country towards a better future. In that regard, the "Swiss Model" could certainly serve as a guide for our country: similar in size, regional and cultural complexity and economic structure, Switzerland has found an efficient political model that helps the country to be at the top of all leagues: economic competitiveness, innovation, best places to live, happiness etc. On the 5th of June 2024, starting at 11h30, we will have a luncheon presentation at the Deloitte offices (Gateway - Zaventem). It will include a macro economic update and a presentation of the Swiss Model, followed by a debate. Micol Lucchi is the Lead, Swiss Public Affairs, for the World Economic Forum in Geneva, and has written about the subject (https://lnkd.in/ezjU_Qv6 ). Her presentation will deal with: "Is there a magic formula, and could we implement it?" It will be followed by a debate with our Minister of the Interior, Institutional Reform and Democratic Renewal Annelies Verlinden, and Benoit Bayenet, Professor ULB & Chairman of CRB/CCE. Jan Van Looveren, Partner & Governement & Public Services Leader Deloitte Belgium will lead the debate.
