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
This event is the same as FONGIT:Force but online, in order to reach a wider audience by making it more easily accessible.
FONGIT-Life
Targeted at our life sciences community, these in-person workshops at Campus Biotech have the same format as a FONGIT:Force, featuring talks from international thought leaders and a networking lunch.
FONGIT-Espresso
A series of fast-paced, 30-minute online webinars designed to provide attendees with concise yet powerful insights on various topics related to startups and entrepreneurship.
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) and BAS (Business Angels Switzerland).
