What is IO?

The Innovation Office of the University of Basel is the central contact point for all innovators and entrepreneurs.

We build bridges across three different ecosystems: knowledge, innovation, and business.

We supports a dynamic culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, initiating and managing projects to help students, researchers, and professors develop their ideas.

We support entrepreneurs and startups whilst also creating connections between industry, academia, and society, aiming to translate scientific discoveries into societal impact.

We emphasize human connections and personal skill building, fostering a mindset of giving, self-awareness, and leadership to unlock human potential for pioneering projects.

Our mission is to propel innovators to achieve impact.
Our vision is to equip everyone with the tools for success.

Our vision is to provide you with essential skills in entrepreneurship and innovation, promoting a hands-on, practical approach to learning. By fostering an entrepreneurial mindset, we prepare you to become the innovative leaders of tomorrow.
