On 23 June, Startup Days (SUD) will take place in the Kursaal in Bern. The Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property (IPI) is sponsoring the event and its experts will be on hand to answer questions about protecting innovations. In a session with the world's most famous secret agent, event participants will also learn which specific aspects of protection are relevant for start-ups looking to protect their inventions and creations. Intellectual property and protecting it is a key piece of the puzzle, particularly for young companies on the path to success.

Pilot event in the Canton of Bern

Startup Days is one of a few pilot events in the Canton of Bern selected to gain insights into holding conferences in COVID times. The pilot project will be scientifically monitored. “In this way, we can jointly succeed in gaining decisive insights and benefits for the entire sector, both nationally and internationally,” say the event organisers.

International speakers will take to the stage at Startup Days. The idea of community is central to the event and participants are invited to share their experiences with one another.
