Event: Microtech Matchmaking Tour, discover the microtech companies of Eastern Switzerland

During that day, organized by Rhysearch, Microcity, Swissoptic and the Innovation Booster Microtech, we would like to bring together experts from different fields, from the Eastern and the Western part of Switzerland.

This matchmaking event tour aims for both, partners seeking an innovative solution and potential technology providers. Participants will also benefit from insights on current technology topics and will visit labs and companies in the region of Saint-Gall.

You will have the opportunity to network with potential project partners and, maybe, start to discuss a collaboration project that can be funded by the Innovation Booster Microtech.
