The 2024 Venture Startup Competition Kicks off in Zurich and Lausanne

In the days leading up to Halloween, the entrepreneurial pulse quickened as we proudly launched the 2024 edition of the >>venture>> startup competition in Zurich and Lausanne. The convergence of seasoned entrepreneurs, industry experts, startup coaches, investors, and support organizations set the stage for the kind of collaborative journey >>venture>> is known for.


The excitement kicked off in Zurich with a warm welcome from Frank Floessel, Head of ETH Entrepreneurship. Meanwhile, André Catana, Head of Unit of the Venture Builder at the Vice Presidency of Innovation, EPFL, delivered an engaging welcome speech that captivated the audience at the Lausanne event. Their opening remarks resonated with the innovative spirit that defines the >>venture>> community.


The keynote speech in Zurich was delivered by Maximilian Moser, co-founder & CTO of Biosimo, our 2023 Grand Prize Winner, while Tom Bertrand, co-founder of Bearmind and 2023 ICT 1st place winner, took the stage in Lausanne. Their insights provided valuable perspectives on their journey with >>venture>>.
