It now attracts more than 8,500 innovators, founders, and investors. This significant growth is supported by a key partnership with the Swiss Startup Association, which serves as an official co-host. In this role, the association plays an active part in shaping the event's program and is crucial in bringing together essential participants from the wider startup community.
Startup Nights is an annual event held in Winterthur, Switzerland. It’s a dynamic platform designed to foster innovation and connect promising startups with potential investors and mentors. The event features a diverse range of activities, including keynote speeches from leading industry experts, pitch competitions where new companies can present their ideas, and networking sessions.
