GM-Lausanne Corridor: Trade, Investment & Innovation Opportunities

GM Business Growth Hub and Innovaud, the innovation agency for the Canton of Vaud, bring Swiss market-entry routes to DiSH Manchester for a morning on the Greater Manchester to Lausanne corridor. The focus is practical: soft-landing and market-entry programmes, university and research collaborations with institutions including EPFL, investor and scale-up networks, and trade and export support. Partner organisations from both sides are in the room, and attendees can request 1-1 meetings with selected partners afterwards through the registration form, with introductions following by email. It runs 09:00 to 12:30 and is free. Eligible businesses need a registered trading address in Greater Manchester; investors and business support organisations are also welcome. No individual speakers are named. Why go: a short, concrete route into the Swiss deep tech, life sciences, cyber and AI ecosystem without the cost of a trade mission. Best for Manchester scale-ups already weighing European expansion, and the people who advise them.
