This year has been one of growth: 160 new alumni from our entrepreneurship education trainings, a wave of new startups and new programmes and collaborations at the Innovation Office. Join founders, alumni, partners and the wider Basel innovation community to celebrate the talents of our 2026 programmes, look back on what we’ve built together, and discover upcoming opportunities to bring your ideas to life.

 

After the pitches, the conversation continues: meet the startups in person over the apéro, surrounded by hot wine, roasted chestnuts and crêpes served by a startup’s very own robot. Leave a note for the community at our writing station, and make new connections along the way.

 

Whether you’re a founder, an aspiring entrepreneur, a partner, or simply curious about the startup scene, come as you are and celebrate with us.
