Industry Leader Network (ILN)

*This page contains insights from the UBS Industry Leader Network, a global group of UBS clients and prospects who are private business owners and executives. Their views may differ from those of UBS.

Connecting entrepreneurs

The Industry Leader Network (ILN) is a peer-to-peer network that helps you stay on top of fast-moving and ever-changing business trends and opportunities.

The ILN lets you connect to other members at content-rich events, on the digital platform, and through regular information exchanges that can help you stay on top of your game.

Three entrepreneurs discussing opportunities at the Industry Leader Network meeting

Connections

Become part of an elite group of business owners – from around the world

Experience

Interactive and content-rich events that focus on topics relevant to your business today – and tomorrow

Knowledge

Economic and industry observations sourced directly from business leaders – not found in the newspaper

Entrepreneurial insights

Staying on top of fast-moving and ever-changing business trends is a job by itself. It requires timely insights, well-researched analysis, and access to relevant information when you need it.

Analysts from the Chief Investment Office regularly engage with each ILN member in short, one-to-one dialogues on the trends driving their business activities and influencing their outlooks. The collection of these exclusive perspectives on the global economy are aggregated into a monthly report – Industry Leader Insights – and made available exclusively to the ILN.
