With great pride, we are delighted to be among the top 3 companies in the "Services" category of the Swiss Economic Award 2021! But on what values does the success of this still young company rest?
Out of over 180 applicants, CARIFY's business model managed to impress and was nominated for the SEF Award, the most prestigious young entrepreneur award in Switzerland from the Swiss Economic Forum. We are among the top 3 companies.
We wholeheartedly congratulate the winner, "GuestReady," as well as the co-nominee, Yokoy Group AG, whose innovative concepts have been inspiring.
What a great milestone to mark our 2-year anniversary! But how can we explain the rapid yet sustainable success? According to SEF, three values in particular define CARIFY.
Sergio Studer, Co-Founder of CARIFY, explained during his appearance at the Swiss Economic Forum: "Exactly two years ago today, our first customer experienced an incredible sense of joy when she received her car. But, unlike others, our customer neither leased nor purchased the car – she 'subscribed' to it."
Core Values of CARIFY
Joy
Mobility should be enjoyable. Do you remember your first car purchase? The moments of happiness with the vehicle? Whether on a solitary mountain pass, a nighttime drive in the city, or a road trip with friends, mobility is not just a means to an end; it should also be fun. That's why joy is at the center of our approach. This feeling drives us every day anew – we want the customer to experience this feeling over and over, combined with an all-inclusive mobility solution.
Innovation
We want to build something better – a world that is more flexible and aligns with people's actual needs. That's why we strive for innovative ideas to best satisfy the demand for simple and sustainable mobility. Our all-inclusive solution offers maximum flexibility, cost transparency, and convenience.
Community
We believe that mobility doesn't work in isolation. We collaborate with over 250 Swiss auto garages to combat the surplus of cars on the market and aim to make this industry more sustainable. Auto dealers should have easy access to car subscriptions. Instead of buying or leasing cars themselves, CARIFY's business model is based on the idea of a platform that connects both customers and garages. In other words, it's about creating a win-win situation for both customers and garages.
The sustainable business concept, which doesn't simply lead to the further proliferation of vehicles but rather to their efficient distribution and use, prevents the production of more cars that unnecessarily sit idle.
CARIFY believes in changing the world and wants to transform it into a healthy ecosystem, especially in the automotive industry, as much as possible.
