Boosting Excellence: Jump-starting the SGBA’s outstanding startup scene at the START Summit 2019 in St.Gallen

On March 21st and 22nd the halls of the Olma fair in St.Gallen were once again center stage of START Summit, the St.GallenBodenseeArea’s (SGBA) annual convention for startups. More than 2'500 young entrepreneurs, founders, visionaries, students and investors answered the call of Switzerland’s leading conference for startups and pioneers in entrepreneurship and technology, aptly titled «Be Where Innovation Happens» (which has been the new slogan on Start SUMMIT’s recently re-designed webpage as well).

Big Data and Cyber Security, Entrepreneurial Impact, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual Reality and the Internet of Things, along with FinTech, were the hot topics of the 2019 SUMMIT – a choice that also established a perfect match with the focus areas of the SGBA.

In a collaborative effort with the city of St.Gallen, the Public Utilities of St.Gallen, the area’s ICT association IT Rockt!, the Startfeld incubator, the University of St.Gallen and the University of Applied Sciences in Rapperswil, and St.Gallen-Bodensee Tourisms, the team of the SGBA and the Office for Economy and Labor St.Gallen managed to enthrall conference visitors and participants. True to their mission statement «St.Gallen – Boosting Excellence», they provided comprehensive information about the outstanding ICT infrastructure, industry benefits and support for existing and prospective startups and founders in the SGBA. Partners in this alliance provide services throughout all stages of a startup’s growth cycle: From developing your business idea, to founding and launching your company, early market entry and up to initial prototype testing we have it all on offer. We gladly provide you with one-stop consulting – and that stop is in the SGBA.
