Who are we
The BIND is an event that started in 2006. It was initially organised by UNITEC, the Technology Transfer Office of the University of Geneva (UNIGE) and Hospital of Geneva (HUG), joined later by the PACTT, the Technology Transfer Office of University of Lausanne (UNIL) and University Hospital of Lausanne (CHUV), to showcase the best of the academic life sciences research in Western Switzerland universities. In 2025, BioAlps - Western Switzerland Life Sciences Cluster is taking over the organisation of the event.
The event
Held for the first time in 2006, BioInnovation Day (BIND) is a one-day event that offers researchers, scientist-entrepreneurs and start-ups the opportunity to present innovative projects in the life sciences to an audience of peers, industrial partners, service providers and investors. In 2025, the BIND is taking on 1 April (not a joke!) at Campus Biotech on 1 April.
