Staff Report
Zurich, Switzerland
In an era where professional networks are often measured by the number of contacts rather than the quality of relationships, Viktory Agency is introducing a different vision of business networking. With the launch of THE Circle, founder Viktoriya Kukhta has created an invitation-only international community where entrepreneurs, investors, executives, innovators, creatives, and luxury brands come together to build meaningful partnerships that extend far beyond a single event.
Presented on the 4th of July during an exclusive opening evening at Zurich’s iconic Baur au Lac, THE Circle was designed as a platform where carefully curated introductions become the starting point for long-term collaborations, investments, and cross-border business opportunities.
A Different Perspective on Networking
Unlike traditional conferences or large networking events, THE Circle focuses on quality over quantity. Every participant is personally selected based not only on professional achievements but also on leadership, integrity, international outlook, and a genuine willingness to collaborate.
The philosophy behind the community is reflected in one defining statement:
Connections Become Capital.
Rather than collecting business cards, members are encouraged to build trusted relationships that can evolve into strategic partnerships, investments, innovative projects, and international ventures. This selective approach ensures that every conversation has the potential to create lasting value.
The Return of Meaningful Human Connection
Today’s professionals are more connected than ever before, yet genuine human interaction has become increasingly rare. Business leaders spend their days switching between emails, video calls, messaging apps, and social media platforms, accumulating thousands of digital contacts while having fewer opportunities for meaningful face-to-face conversations.
Technology has transformed the way we communicate, but it cannot replace trust built through personal meetings, shared experiences, thoughtful discussions, or simply spending an inspiring evening together.
THE Circle was created as a response to this reality. It is more than a networking platform, it is a community designed to bring people back to authentic communication. Every event encourages meaningful conversations, new perspectives, and real relationships that continue long after the evening ends.
Elegant venues, live music, fine dining, artistic experiences, and carefully curated guest lists are not simply elements of the program, they create an atmosphere where people naturally connect on both a personal and professional level.
Because meaningful partnerships are rarely born from algorithms or endless scrolling. They begin with genuine conversations, shared ideas, and memorable experiences.
Bringing International Leaders Together
The inaugural edition of THE Circle welcomed an exceptional international audience, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, founders, executives, innovators, diplomats, creatives, luxury brand representatives, and opinion leaders from Switzerland, Germany, France, Italy, and Egypt.
Guests represented industries including finance, venture capital, technology, hospitality, entrepreneurship, fashion, media, art, philanthropy, and luxury, creating a unique environment where leaders from different sectors could exchange ideas, discover new opportunities, and build valuable cross-border partnerships.
Among the distinguished attendees were successful entrepreneurs, startup founders, private investors, international executives, public speakers, journalists, and representatives of globally recognized companies and premium brands. The event welcomed Anna Stukkert, investor, journalist and international influencer; Anwar Elkamony, TEDx speaker and professional tennis player; and Lidia Weber, founder of the renowned Austrian jewellery house Oliver Weber Collection, alongside many other accomplished business leaders and innovators. Their presence reflected the international diversity and high calibre of the community that THE Circle is building.
The evening combined Luxury Speed Networking, an elegant Flying Dinner, keynote presentations, live performances, and curated artistic experiences, allowing guests to build relationships in an atmosphere that felt both inspiring and effortless.
Rather than following a conventional networking format, every element of the event was designed to encourage authentic dialogue, creating opportunities for future collaborations, investments, and international partnerships.
From Creative Industry to an International Business Platform
THE Circle reflects the international journey of its founder, Viktoriya Kukhta.
Before establishing Viktory Agency, she spent more than a decade working as a professional photographer, covering prestigious international events including Paris Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week. Those experiences enabled her to build a global network while observing that the strongest business opportunities are created through authentic human relationships.
Inspired by these experiences, she founded Viktory Agency with the vision of creating premium business communities where entrepreneurs, investors, innovators, executives, and creatives could connect in an atmosphere built on trust, quality, and shared ambition.
Today, THE Circle represents the next chapter of that vision.
European Expansion and a New Chapter
Following its successful debut in Zurich, THE Circle is entering an ambitious new stage of international growth.
Throughout 2026, the community will expand significantly, welcoming an even broader network of entrepreneurs, investors, executives, innovators, creatives, luxury brands, and industry leaders from across Europe and beyond. As membership continues to grow, THE Circle is evolving into a truly international ecosystem where trusted relationships create new business opportunities across borders.
On 10 September 2026, the community will gather in Lugano, Switzerland, for an exclusive networking evening featuring the legendary Bad Boys Blue, bringing together entrepreneurs, investors, creatives, executives, and international guests in an atmosphere where networking becomes an experience rather than an obligation.
Soon afterward, Viktory Agency will officially introduce its Annual Membership Program across Switzerland, France, and Germany, creating a private international community for founders, executives, investors, innovators, and visionary leaders who value meaningful relationships over transactional networking.
Alongside its expanding international calendar, Viktory Agency is also preparing the launch of a new innovative product that will become the next step in the evolution of THE Circle. Designed to help members discover relevant business contacts faster, strengthen relationships between events, and create valuable introductions more efficiently, the new platform will combine technology with the human-first philosophy that defines the community. More details about the launch will be revealed in the near future.
The international calendar continues on 28 September 2026 with Viktory Paris Vision, taking place during Paris Fashion Week at the prestigious Mairie du 16e arrondissement, bringing together representatives from fashion, diplomacy, entrepreneurship, investment, luxury, and the creative industries under one roof.
Additional networking events are already planned for Zurich and Monaco, while March 2027 will see another flagship edition of Viktory Paris Vision, further strengthening THE Circle’s presence among Europe’s leading premium business communities.
More Than a Networking Community
As international business becomes increasingly relationship-driven, THE Circle represents a new generation of executive networking, one built on trust, relevance, and long-term collaboration.
By combining exclusive experiences, carefully curated membership, and an expanding international ecosystem, Viktory Agency is creating a platform where influential leaders can exchange ideas, identify opportunities, build strategic partnerships, and grow together on a global scale.
With an expanding presence across Europe, a growing international membership, an ambitious calendar of exclusive events, and the upcoming launch of its next-generation networking platform, THE Circle is positioning itself as one of Europe’s most distinctive private business communities.
Because in today’s global economy, success is no longer defined by how many people you know but by the strength of the relationships you build.
Membership by Invitation
Membership in THE Circle is available exclusively through a selective application process. Rather than focusing solely on professional achievements, the community values integrity, international vision, openness to collaboration, and a genuine desire to contribute to an environment built on trust and mutual growth.
Members gain access to an international network of entrepreneurs, investors, executives, innovators, and industry leaders, as well as a carefully curated calendar of exclusive business and lifestyle experiences across Europe. Beyond the events themselves, membership is designed to foster lasting relationships, strategic partnerships, investment opportunities, and meaningful cross-border collaborations throughout the year.
As THE Circle continues to grow, members will also benefit from the launch of its upcoming digital platform, enabling them to connect more efficiently, discover relevant business opportunities, and maintain valuable relationships between in-person gatherings. By combining thoughtfully curated experiences with intelligent technology, Viktory Agency aims to create a seamless ecosystem where meaningful connections continue long after each event.
Applications remain limited in order to preserve the quality and diversity of the community. Every new member contributes not only their professional expertise but also their experience, perspective, and international network, helping shape an ecosystem where every introduction has purpose and every relationship has the potential to create lasting value.
Because the future of business belongs not to those with the largest networks, but to those who build the strongest relationships.
