The Program
This collaboration with the School of Engineering and Management (HEIG-VD) aims to offer Swiss students an immersive experience in the entrepreneurial mindset of Silicon Valley.
This program is part of the HEIG-VD International Innovation Management (IIM), a course for exploring practices and methodologies behind the vibrant world of startups. The students are supporting selected Swiss startups in their innovative journey and are learning from Swiss and US ecosystems.
They have the opportunity to travel into the Bay Area and explore the innovation ecosystem during two weeks. Swissnex in San Francisco provides them with content and learning from Silicon Valley through the organization of workshops before their travel and hosts them while organizing a networking event during their coming.
