What to expect

  • Keynotes, panel discussions, interactive workshops and an exhibition area
  • Startup pitch competitions and a curated exhibition zone
  • 1:1 matchmaking platform connecting founders, investors and corporates

Planning tips

  • Held at the Kursaal, a short walk or tram ride from Bern's main station and old town
  • Book the delegate pass early for the matchmaking slots, which fill quickly
  • Combine the day with a stroll along the Aare and the UNESCO old town

Build a day around it

Treat the event as one clean block in your schedule, not the entire day. The best Bern days usually have one anchor (this event), one food moment, and one calm walk — with buffer so nothing feels rushed.

  • If you have 2–3 hours: arrive a little early → event → short walk to decompress.
  • If you’re making a full day: pair it with one neighborhood loop and one “sunset” stop.
  • If the weather turns: keep walking minimal and use cafés/museums as your buffer.

Before you go

  • Confirm the details: check the official link for last-minute schedule or venue updates.
  • Arrive with buffer: 15–30 minutes early usually makes the whole experience calmer.
  • Have a weather plan: keep one indoor “warm stop” in mind in case the day turns.
