Innovation is crucial to Switzerland’s prosperity, with a zest for science and entrepreneurship playing a key role. It’s only when research results or good ideas find their way into the market that new jobs are created, or solutions are developed for social and technological progress.
UBS has a long tradition of cooperation with research, targeted promotion of training and further education, and support for entrepreneurship in Switzerland.
That’s why we are proud to partner with EPFL to organize Investor Day.
A thriving start
In its inaugural year, Investor Day attracted over 700 participants, including venture capitalists, corporate innovators, family offices, startup founders, and accelerators.
The exclusive event took place at SwissTech Convention Center on the EPFL campus in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Wednesday 8 November 2023. It brought together the broader investment community to connect with their peers and engage with the most innovative tech startups from Western Switzerland.
Over the course of the day, investors and entrepreneurs had the opportunity to connect, explore investment opportunities, and discover future disruptive technological trends.
