Who are we?

Helvetia is a quality-oriented all-lines insurer and among the leaders in the Swiss insurance market. Thanks to the personal commitment and service provided by our staff of around 3,500 employees, our company has earned the trust of more than 1.3 million customers.

What’s the background?

One in three Swiss households keeps a pet and, at some point in time, will be confronted with the question: “How is my four-legged friend doing?” As our pets can’t tell us what ails them, the only way to answer this question is to contact a vet. But a visit to the vet is both time-consuming and fraught with stress – for pet and owner alike. Getting your animal into a pet carrier, taking it to the vet by public transport and making an advance payment for a major operation can all be problematical for you and your pet.

Help us make the visit to the vet as pleasant as a stroll in the park.

What’s our aim?

We are looking for an innovation that will make such situations easier for both pets and their owners. Your idea may comprise products and/or services. The visit itself – and the steps preceding and following it – can form part of your idea (examples: finding the right vet, paying for treatment, and follow-up treatment at home). Let your imagination run wild!
