Business Concept Alumni Event
USI Startup Centre
Date: 26 May 2025 / 17:30 - 19:30
Startup Lounge, USI Startup Centre, Level 2, Sector C, East Campus (via la Santa 1, Lugano-Viganello)
The Business Concept Alumni Event is an informal networking event dedicated to Business Concept alumni, as well as students, researchers, and aspiring entrepreneurs interested in the startup world and curious to learn how fellow entrepreneurs have built their own projects. The event is offered as part of the Entrepreneurship Training programme and organised by USI and SUPSI on behalf of Innosuisse.
During this first edition of the event, alumni from previous years of the Business Concept programme will share their stories, focusing on the challenges they encountered, and the opportunities offered by the local ecosystem that supported them throughout their journey. They will walk us through their entrepreneurial journeys and share practical advice, offering insights in an informal, peer-to-peer context.
After the presentations, there will be an open mic session where all participants are invited to share ideas, experiences, questions, or launch a call to action — laying the groundwork for meaningful conversations during the networking apéro.
