Celebrating the club’s 10-year anniversary, Launch by the ETH Entrepreneur Club embraces all three of its foundational pillars: inspire, educate, accelerate in a single flagship event. Through Launch, it is our vision to do away with exclusivity and make entrepreneurial resources accessible. On October 15th, 2021 at StageOne Oerlikon, the vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem of ETH and beyond will be on full display to an audience of 700+ and put in reach for those that dare to dream, and do it.

This will be Zurich’s first event that brings students, startups, professors, and professionals together under one roof to engage in an intergenerational and multidisciplinary debate on what entrepreneurship is about. Specifically, how to leverage the opportunities around us everyday to bring our ideas to orbit. What does this mean in down-to-earth terms?

IMPACT HUB: Circular Economy Workshop 18:00-19:00

Our actual linear and resource-intensive economic model is not sustainable. In Switzerland alone, we use 3 times more ressources, than we are entitled to (Swiss Earth Overshoot day beginning of May in 2021).

In this session, we want to focus on the engaging side of things: many actors are paving the way towards a more regenerative and resource-light economy, adopting innovative circular business models and practices and leading to a major shift of mindset in our local economies and in the overall system.

What are the current principles and business models of the Circular Economy? Who are the Swiss pioneers and how to be part of this movement? What is important to consider for entrepreneurs when launching a circular venture?

Laurène Descamps from Impact Hub Zürich will share her experience on working with 70+ circular ventures and in co-initiating a vibrant ecosystem for a Circular Economy Transition in Switzerland.
