Welcome to startup days, the nationwide business and networking platform for startups, investors, SMEs, and corporates in Switzerland. Our mission is to strengthen the Swiss startup ecosystem by providing a platform for growth, collaboration, and innovation. With startup days, we bring together the brightest minds of the nationwide startup community to learn and grow while addressing the most pressing problems of our times.

If you're a startup, startup days offers you the opportunity to present yourself in front of top-notch investors and learn from the most experienced experts in the Swiss startup ecosystem. For investors, we provide access to the best investment opportunities of the most promising startups through our Pitching Battles, Matchmaking events, and conversations. SMEs and corporates can discover investment opportunities and initiate cooperation and innovation for their own businesses.

Enablers and providers can become part of our strong national community, where friends are made and deals are negotiated. Politicians also have a role to play, as they tie new alliances with the startup ecosystem and work on appropriate framework conditions. Our goal with startup days is to develop a national platform for the innovation ecosystem in Switzerland.

We aim to promote young Swiss entrepreneurs to courageously search for and develop solutions in the fields of health, food, and climate to improve our world. We're also focused on fostering female entrepreneurship and promoting diversity through our initiative called Collective. Additionally, we seek to establish venture as an asset class and shape an entrepreneurial mindset.

We believe in co-opetition, where we run further together without exclusions. We're committed to sustainability, and as such, we take steps to reduce the environmental impact of the event. Our venue, the Kursaal, uses green energy from hydropower and serves vegetarian and vegan food.

We also prioritize second-hand decoration and encourage all attendees to reduce their CO2 footprint by providing them with the Greenrider guide. We measure our carbon emissions with the help of the CO2 balance of myclimate, and we continuously strive for sustainability. Join us at startup days and become a part of the Swiss startup ecosystem.
