With a growing interest and more industry stakeholders evolving towards Tech for Impact, we are pleased to organize the first Tech for Impact Day in Switzerland on September 15th 2020 at Kulturpark Zürich, commissioned by Innosuisse. This day will focus on how industry can play a key role in supporting and collaborating with Impact Tech start-ups and developing innovation to meet the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). The SDGs provide an excellent framework for new business opportunities. At this event, we will address these opportunities and show how important Tech for Impact innovations are and what potential they have - and most importantly, how industry can be a pioneer for the SDGs, with inspiring keynotes by speakers from ETH, EPFL, IBM, Buhler Group, Good Tech Lab and Katapult.Be part of this event and celebrate Tech for Impact with us. Comment on the current situation regarding COVID-19: in order to ensure the safety of all participants, we will follow the measures recommended by the BAG.
