In 2022, we proudly launched our global partnership with the renowned Montreux Jazz Festival. This collaboration extends beyond the internationally acclaimed festival itself, to include the digital platform, and initiatives led by the Montreux Jazz Artists Foundation, supporting emerging talent from around the world.

Attracting greats such as Bob Dylan, Miles Davis, and Nina Simone since its launch in 1967, the Montreux Jazz Festival has developed into one of the world’s largest and most prestigious international music events. Today, the main festival, which is held on the banks of Lake Geneva for 16 days in July, attracts up to 250 000 visitors. It also features around 380 concerts by established musicians and newcomers performing jazz, soul, blues, pop, rock, and other genres.

Julius Baer’s Global Partnership extends to ‘MJF Spotlight’, a digital brand by Montreux Media Ventures and ‘MJF Residency’ by the Montreux Jazz Artists Foundation. As a Global Partner, we are also committed to its sister festivals such as the Montreux Jazz Festival China, and Montreux Jazz Festival Japan.

Julius Baer’s commitment to culture and innovation

Supporting art and music has been integral to Julius Baer’s philosophy for decades. This iconic event combines lasting success with foresight and innovation – values that we share at Julius Baer. Our partnership with the Montreux Jazz Festival is part of our commitment to foster innovation for a better future in the communities in which we live and work, because we are convinced that how we invest today is how we live tomorrow.
