Hearing loss affects over 1.5 billion people worldwide, isolating them from conversations, connections, and the full experience of life. Sonova exists to change that reality - pioneering innovative hearing care solutions that restore the vital human sense of hearing and enable people to live without limitations. Since 1947, the company has grown from a Swiss startup into a global leader, developing cutting-edge hearing aids, cochlear implants, wireless communication systems, and audiological care services that transform millions of lives annually. Operating through four strategic business segments - Hearing Instruments, Audiological Care, Consumer Hearing, and Cochlear Implants - Sonova reaches customers in over 100 countries through its house of brands including Phonak, Unitron, AudioNova, Sennheiser (under license), and Advanced Bionics. The company's 18,000+ employees drive this mission forward, backed by over 1,800 patents and design rights. In the 2024/25 financial year, Sonova generated CHF 3.9 billion in sales with a net profit of CHF 547 million, demonstrating both strong business performance and unwavering commitment to its vision: a world where everyone enjoys the delight of hearing.

We started back in 2002 when four music-loving engineers in Santa Barbara decided there had to be a better way to listen to music at home. No one had really heard of music streaming yet, and getting sound throughout your house meant either cranking the volume way up or running cables through walls. We saw the potential in home networking and set out with a straightforward goal: make it easy to play any song in any room. Since then, we have kept pushing forward - creating wireless speakers, home theater systems, headphones, and whole-home audio that have actually defined entire categories. We hold thousands of patents, operate in more than 60 countries, and work with Oscar and GRAMMY-winning producers who help fine-tune our products so you hear music exactly as the artist intended. Our team embraces hack weeks and experiment labs because we believe the best ideas come from trying things that might not work. We are committed to inclusion, belonging, and building sustainability into everything we create because the future of sound deserves to be thoughtfully designed.

At Pliant, we're building the next generation of corporate payment infrastructure with a culture that prioritizes technical excellence and collaborative problem-solving. Our team of fintech veterans and payment experts works in cross-functional squads where engineers, product managers, and operations specialists collaborate daily to ship features that directly impact how businesses manage their finances. We believe in giving teams real ownership - from product discovery to deployment - and maintain a remote-first mindset across our Berlin, London, Paris, and Helsinki offices. We optimize for focus and meaningful work over facetime, which is why we've embraced async communication and keep meetings to a minimum. Our engineering culture values pragmatism over perfection: we build modular, API-first solutions that scale because we understand the complex payment landscapes our customers navigate in industries like travel and fleet management. As a licensed EMI issuing Visa cards across 30+ countries, we combine the rigor required for regulated financial services with the agility of a startup, enabling over 4,000 businesses to streamline their payment processes while our team maintains work-life balance and continuous growth.

In 2011, Ulrich Huggenberger founded XITASO with a vision to bring high-end software engineering excellence to complex digital transformation projects. What started as a realization that digitalization demanded more than just coding - it required deep domain expertise, collaborative partnerships, and a genuine passion for innovation - has grown into a team of over 240 professionals across 13 locations. The company emerged from a fundamental insight: companies in mechanical engineering, robotics, medical technology, and the public sector needed a partner who could not only write code but truly understand their industries and help them navigate the increasing complexity of interconnected digital systems. Today, XITASO stands as an expert for high-end software engineering in future-proof digitalization projects, developing individual solutions of the highest quality that scale securely from hardware to cloud.

With annual revenue exceeding 22 million euro and a commitment to authenticity, inspiration, and ambition, XITASO continues to shape the digital future through expertise in artificial intelligence, IT security, cloud engineering, and Industry 4.0 technologies. Their mission remains clear: to enable their customers' digital market advantage through excellence, innovation, and the simple joy of creating technology that matters.
