On Wednesday, 20th November, Zurich’s Kaufleuten venue became a vibrant meeting point for the Swiss automotive industry. Over 200 guests assembled to witness the AutoScout24 and MotoScout24 Awards, celebrating the nation’s top car dealers.
“THE NIGHT” was more than just an awards ceremony. The event blended an engaging atmosphere, entertainment, fine dining, and networking opportunities. Television presenter Kiki Maeder hosted the evening, bringing the industry together to celebrate exceptional achievements: dealerships that demonstrated innovation, dedication, and outstanding service quality over the past year. The jury evaluated participants against criteria such as the number of customer enquiries received via AutoScout24, the completeness of their vehicle listings, the duration of advertisements on the platform, and average customer ratings based on Google Reviews. Matthias Bischof, Director of Business Customers at AutoScout24, presented the awards, emphasising the industry’s innovation: “Our winners exemplify the passion and commitment that drive their businesses. It is this dedication that enables them to succeed, even in challenging times.” The AutoScout24 and MotoScout24 Awards aim to become a hallmark of quality for the automotive sector.
An Exceptional Experience
The event featured an inspiring keynote speech by Prof. Dr. Stefan Bratzel, founder of the Center of Automotive Management. Bratzel’s insightful analyses and visionary forecasts explored the competition between Big Data and traditional car dealerships, sparking reflections on the future of the automotive sector. Entertainment came in the form of a dynamic performance by “The Blackouts,” who captivated the audience with breathtaking illusions, high-energy dance, and a spectacular LED show. A “Flying Dinner” added a relaxed setting for networking and meaningful conversations, turning the event into a key gathering for professionals in the Swiss automotive industry.
Recognition for Commitment
