What do we want to achieve?
The success of start-ups can be very much
accelerated by a well functioning local ecosystem,
supporting start-ups with a network of
experienced mentors, with resources such as
office space, laboratories and qualified human
capital and with the necessary financing.
BaseCamp4HighTech uniquely supports high
potentials to successfully start and grow their
businesses, offering a tailor made start-up
coaching/mentoring, a network for all stages of
financing and appropriate workspace around the
area of Berne.
