Basel Entrepreneurship Night 2025

The Basel Entrepreneurship Night is back in 2025 – Rock Solid! We’ve kept the spirit of THE Night alive, but we’re making it more relaxed: no need for black tie (unless you want to!) – just come looking sharp and ready to celebrate.

The Night 2025 is also easier on the budget, but still full of energy, inspiration, and great company.

Set in Unser Bier this year, Basel’s biggest and most beloved brewery, which is all about local production for local enjoyment – a Rock Solid match for an evening that celebrates strong ideas and resilient communities.

Come ready to meet inspiring people, share ideas, and enjoy a night that’s as Rock Solid as the entrepreneurs it brings together.
