Community is key to helping entrepreneurs grow, connecting them with like-minded peers, investors, and local stakeholders as they spread their roots in the canton of Geneva. It's a core part of our strategy and a proven driver of success.
Many of our events are open to anyone interested in learning more about the developments in innovation taking place across the region, from Plan-les-Ouates to Campus Biotech. We hope you’ll join us, whether in person or online.
Don't miss out on any events - join our mailing list!
At FONGIT, we're proud of our strong community of innovators and people who want to help innovators.
What kind of events do we do, and which one is for you?
Café+Croissant
This monthly event brings together the entire FONGIT team and leading entrepreneurs from our innovation community. It's the perfect opportunity for attendees to find out what has been going on in the Geneva startup community, hear from entrepreneurs themselves, and expand their professional network, all while enjoying coffee and croissants.
Join us at Campus Biotech for a life sciences focus, or come to our headquarters in Plan-les-Ouates to learn about our whole ecosystem.
FONGIT:Force
The FONGIT:Force is our monthly program of in-person workshops from international thought leaders targeted at entrepreneurs of fast-growing startups (but anyone interested is welcome to attend). Participants will walk away with actionable insights and an accelerated understanding of different challenges (e.g. commercial, technical, and human) that they need to address when launching a product and growing a business.
Lunch-Learn
Participants at these monthly online workshops listen to and interact with international thought leaders who provide them with concrete advice and insights that will help them develop their innovation into a thriving business. In a similar format to the FONGIT:Force, the Lunch-Learn is also targeted at innovators and entrepreneurs of fast-growing startups from our entire ecosystem.
FONGIT-Life
Targeted at our life sciences community, these monthly in-person workshops at Campus Biotech open with a networking lunch and feature talks from international thought leaders targeted at innovators and entrepreneurs of fast-growing startups (but anyone interested is welcome to attend). Participants walk away with actionable insights and an accelerated understanding of different challenges (e.g. commercial, technical, regulatory, and human) that they need to address when launching a product and growing a business.
Investor Events
Every year, we organize several events specifically dedicated to connecting startups with investors. To date, these meetings have been organized with the investor groups SICTIC (Swiss ICT Investor Club), BAS (Business Angels Switzerland), and MEDKAP Investor Association.
