Why come to GEW Basel?
​​
Every November, founders, innovators, supporters and curious people from the region meet for a week of events.
​
The events are run by local organisations, startups and entrepreneurs who know their subject. We pick a small number of them and put them in one programme, so it's easy to find what's worth your time.
​
​Come for one event or for the whole week.
​​​
Throughout the week, you can:​
-
Learn something new – from practical skills to fresh perspectives
-
Get support – whether you’re stuck on an idea or just getting started
-
Share your story – or hear the honest ones others rarely tell
-
Meet new people – collaborators, mentors, or simply great company
-
Try something bold – pitch, present, or host your own session
-
Feel part of a bigger community – one that believes in doing, not just dreaming​​
