Welcome to the Startup Support Jungle!

Together We Build!

Get ready to dive into Basel’s startup jungle! Unlike a classic startup pitch, this event flips the format:

It’s the support organizations who take the stage to present their programs, funding opportunities, and resources.

You’ll get an overview of what’s available in Basel’s startup ecosystem and can quickly spot who might be the right fit for your project, depending on your needs and stage of development.

Stay for the apéro to meet other participants, exchange ideas, and raise a glass to the start of an exciting week full of learning, inspiration, and connections!

This event also marks the start of Global Entrepreneurship Week Basel 2025, bringing together entrepreneurs, supporters, and curious minds to explore where ideas can grow and who can help make them happen.
