Powerhouse of networking
The Collective Gathering is THE rendezvous for female and male decision-makers, thought leaders, investors, board members, entrepreneurs, and researchers.
Our aimed goals are to unlock female entrepreneurship and drive impactful change in Switzerland’s startup landscape.
A day before the startup days event during the afternoon, we gather to:
- inspire more women to start and scale their ventures.
- strengthen connections across the ecosystem — between startups, investors, academia, and corporates.
- shift mindsets, because progress happens when everyone is part of the transformation.
