The IPI is supporting the Swiss Innovation Forum (SIF) as a main partner.

The Swiss Innovation Forum is a national initiative for the targeted promotion of innovation, creativity and design, initiated and supported by the the Swiss Economic Forum. The training and networking platform is aimed at innovative entrepreneurs as well as key decision makers from industry, science, research, education and politics. Participants receive valuable impetus with high practical relevance, benefit from the latest findings from research, science and industry and can network with over 1000 personalities.

The SIF 2015 is taking place on 19 November in the Congress Center in Basel under the motto, "Brain Up". With keynote speakers, workshops and best case sessions, the programme provides much input on success factors, trends and the markets of tomorrow.
