startup days - The Swiss business and networking platform

Level up your network

Imagine meeting all the key players in the Swiss startup ecosystem without having to travel across Switzerland and without inefficient scheduling over months. At startup days, we’ll bring the entire ecosystem together in a single day, giving you unparalleled access to startups, investors, enablers, SMEs and corporates. Be where everyone is meeting to network and discuss business opportunities. Make the connections that matter!

Upgrade your skills 

With 40+ sessions and 125+ speakers, the event is an ideal opportunity to dive deep into dynamic discussions led by industry pioneers, entrepreneurs, and experts driving innovation and business forward. Whether you’re a startup founder, investor, enabler or corporate, our content of diverse sessions will challenge you to think outside the box and enhance your expertise. Embrace the lessons from industry experts, from both failures and success stories and gain valuable insights that will shape your own path to success. Immerse yourself into a pool of knowledge of the entire Swiss startup ecosystem.

The Startupticker team organised a panel on the topic of turnarounds. Two entrepreneurs - Esther Cahn from Signifikant and Tobias Giger from evenito - will give first-hand insights into how they mastered a turnaround, the tough decisions they had to take and what they learnt from them. Rebecca Ribi, a financial expert with experience from several start-ups, will complement the discussion with tips and advice on the legal framework and lessons learnt from other cases.
