• Your can participate in the DayOne Health 4.0 acceleration program regardless of your location.

• If you have heard of the excellent quality of life in Switzerland and want to experience it first-hand, our colleagues from the International Markets team are here to assist you.

Your company does not have to be based in Basel. Most of the workshops and mentoring sessions will be virtual. That said, there will be an in-person bootcamp to kick off the program (September 2023), and the HealthX conference (April 2024) will be in person as well.

One of your founders (alternatively, a core member of your team) should be participating in the kick-off bootcamp, the coaching and mentoring sessions, be ready to pitch for the selection at the end of phase 1, and for the HealthX conference at the end of phase 2.

The program is streamlined and tailored to fit with the busy schedule of entrepreneurs in a scale-up phase. We have intentionally limited the number of group workshops, to put the emphasis on 1:1 coaching, mentoring and expert support to fit your needs of the moment.

After the program we are happy to keep giving you as much visibility as possible, eg. through networking events or presentations at conferences we are involved in. As an example, some of our alumni presented at the 2022 edition of Intelligent Health, the world’s leading AI in medicine summit series. Others were present at Reuters Pharma, the world’s leading cross-functional event for the pharma industry.

If your company is present in the Basel Area, we can support you through our free of charge Venture Mentoring services.
