We want to be the inspiring partner for your tomorrow. We want to contribute to the future by creating innovative solutions. That’s a powerful vision we share with Living Tomorrow.

Baloise encourages them to explore the world and develop their entrepreneurial spirit. “We want to be there for them, both today and tomorrow.

Instead, we take the view that we have learned something new for the future, true to the motto ‘Sometimes it works. Sometimes you learn’”, according to Hamal.

It connects us with a network of companies to refine our vision on these trends. Living Tomorrow allows us to share insights and best practices towards more convenience and simplicity for our customers”, Hamal concludes.
