EXPLORE OUR EVENTS
Networking
Every month, our community comes together for a free networking event: the Café+Croissant, uniting the full FONGIT team and leading entrepreneurs from across Geneva. It is the perfect opportunity to discover what is happening across the local startup ecosystem, hear directly from founders, and grow your professional network — all while enjoying coffee and croissants.
Join us at Campus Biotech for a life sciences focus, or visit our headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates to explore our wider ecosystem.
Workshops
Our monthly programme of in-person workshops is designed for entrepreneurs building fast-growing startups. Participants leave each session with practical, actionable insights and a sharper understanding of the key challenges ahead: whether commercial, technical, or human, as they launch a product and scale a business. Each session opens with a networking lunch, giving participants the opportunity to connect with like-minded peers before hearing from international thought leaders.
Join us at Campus Biotech for FONGIT-Life, where you will hear from leading medtech and biotech experts, or visit our headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates to take part in FONGIT:Force and hear from a range of inspiring international thought leaders.
Webinars
Our Lunch&Learn webinars bring together innovators and entrepreneurs from across our ecosystem to hear from and engage with international thought leaders. Participants are encouraged to engage directly through interactive demonstrations, making each session a hands-on learning experience. Designed for startup founders, the Lunch&Learn is open to anyone with an interest in innovation and entrepreneurship.
Investors
Each year, we organise a number of curated events specifically designed to connect startups with investors. To date, these gatherings have brought together founders and established networks such as SICTIC (Swiss ICT Investor Club), BAS (Business Angels Switzerland), and the MEDKAP Investor Association.
