Swiss Diagnostics Start-Up Day is a special network event that is held once a year in CenterCity Olten to bring well-known representatives of industry and science together with the new business ideas of start-ups from the world of the life sciences.

The programme is framed by fascinating keynote presentations and important information for start-ups about support and funding opportunities. Hence, the event provides start-ups with access to potential partners and gives existing businesses and institutions inspiration for new ideas.
