The Brazilian and Swiss researchers selected for the third Academia-Industry Training (AIT) will attend their first training camp week which will be held in Rio de Janeiro.

The key objective of this program is to expose those researchers with applicable projects to market opportunities and induce an entrepreneurial spirit to take their research from the labs to the market place.

This program gives a strong introduction to entrepreneurship featuring workshops in business plan writing, market entry scenarios, funding strategy and pitching classes as well as a deep understanding of the Brazilian market is the goal, which will be achieved by visiting key institutions in Rio, conferences as well as focusing on networking events to maximize contact between Swiss and Brazilian players.

Participate in the Pitching session:

Our talented and promising Swiss and Brazilian scientists will pitch the application of their research in 5 minutes in front of a board audience! This is the only part of the AIT program open to the public.
