The USI Startup Centre Open Doors will be held on Wednesday, 13 October 2021, from 5 pm. The event, organised by USI Startup Centre, is part of the celebrations for the 25th anniversary of Università della Svizzera italiana and aims to foster relations with the local context and increase the sense of identity within the USI community.

For the event, the new spaces of the Startup Centre at the Lugano East Campus will be populated by exhibit stands offering the opportunity to discover and interact with incubated and pre-incubated startups. Additional space will also be given to the various actors of the entrepreneurial ecosystem and the Centre's partners. Furthermore, USI Startup Centre services and technology transfer opportunities will be presented.

All friends of the Centre (coaches, investors, institutions, companies, trade associations, etc.), the USI community (students, researchers, professors, etc.), the media, and all those interested in the entrepreneurial world are welcome to attend the event.

The apéro area will also offer participants the opportunity to meet and network.

The Open Doors is an excellent opportunity to spread the word about the USI Startup Centre, support the startups and create a network of valuable contacts.

Registrations at >> www.startup.usi.ch/en/form-open-doors-participants. In compliance with the current rules, only participants with a valid Covid Pass will be admitted.
