Founder Institute Switzerland, Kickstart Innovation and Alpine Angel Investors are teaming up to encourage the next generation of female founders by hearing the stories from women who have done it. We know that Switzerland is full of entrepreneurial women and this event aims to bring women together and give you access to top female entrepreneurs and passionate women in business.
