All ticket sale proceeds are going directly to the pitching competition and the winning HealthTech ventures.
Roche Basel is easily accessible by public transport. We recommend taking tram line 2 to the “Basel, Wettsteinplatz” stop, which is a short walk from the venue; or bus 31, 38 or 42, which all stop right outside the Roche Towers.
Parking onsite is very limited, so we therefore recommend that you use a nearby public parking site and walk from there to the venue. The nearest parking is Parking Roche Schwarzwaldallee B626.
Ample bicycle parking is available on-site.
Yes, all attendees must present a valid ticket (printed or digital) at the registration desk to gain entry. Please ensure you have your confirmation email handy when you arrive.
Unfortunately, tickets are non-refundable. However, you may transfer your ticket to someone else by contacting our support team at events@baselarea.swiss with the new attendee’s details no later than 72 hours before the event.
Here are some hotels located within one kilometer of the Roche site, approximately 5 to 15 minutes away on foot:
