Program Objectives
Fintech is one of the most interesting topics for Swiss companies to discover in China. Credit Suisse has decided to send four IT apprentices to work on a project with one of Asia's leading Fintech companies.
Our students had to think outside of the box on topics such as international legislation, privacy concerns, and technology adoption rates in Asia and in Europe.
Program Highlights
Our apprentices formed a small group and worked in close relationship with their local host. They were tasked by one of Asia's leading financial technology company to analyze the company's current service offering and to prototype an application which would be suitable for the European market.
The apprentices also had to present a business plan supporting their application proposal and suggestions as to how to implement the business model.

"During the market research and analysis part of our project, I've learned that a product that works in the Chinese market isn't necessary successful in Switzerland, or the opposite!"
Tobias Fatzer
"We improved our skills in the programming language we're using, which is Angler, and also in organizing our tasks as a team and communicating with people from a different culture and background."
