The Bridge by S-GE – CCI France – Business France

6 mai 2021
|By Info TV

With the support of S-GE, Business France in Switzerland and the French-Swiss Chamber of Commerce (CCIFS) are jointly organizing a unique event in Switzerland, bridging the gap between start-ups/innovative SMEs and corporates.

Corporates often find it difficult to collaborate with innovative startups. The latter face a real challenge when it comes to identifying the decision-makers among the corporates with whom they would like to work. Le Bridge links these two types of actors on both sides of the border. For startups, Le Bridge represents an opportunity to pitch their technology to major international groups in three minutes such as DPD, Akka Technologies, Sita, Soladis, SGS and Froriep.

The program is subject to change. The event will take place onsite or in virtual mode, depending on the development of the coronavirus situation.
