About Us

Adventique was founded 2002 in Lugano, Switzerland by Christian Bucheli as an advisory services company in strategy, marketing and business development. The name Adventique is a coinage combining the Latin verb advenire, meaning „to come to,“ „to arrive,“ „to show up at,“ with the French suffix „ique“. This made-up word stands Adventique’s philosophy to create true value thanks to the very close engagement with its consulting customers.
