We’re breaking down barriers! Käpsele goes to Switzerland

What happens when the biggest innovation festival in south-west Germany looks across the Rhine?
Exactly: it gets big. As entrepreneurs

, we think beyond borders and bring together doers, ideas and markets: regions that will become allies for the day after tomorrow. With strong network partners from the Basel region – and even a premium sponsor, uptownBasel – the Käpsele Innovation Festival 2026 will become even more international:

uptownBasel – Experience AI, robotics and
industrial digitalisation live Innovation Office University of Basel – Ideas → Start-ups
Basel Area Business & Innovation – Scaling & growing internationally
Regio Basiliensis – Networking that makes a difference
Glatt Group – Engineering for pharmaceutical and biotech innovation
Vitra – Design, architecture and new working environments

The Basel Innovation Axis 🇨🇭 – Southern Germany 🇩🇪 – Alsace 🇫🇷 is a real driving force in Europe.
Strong industry. Highly specialised SMEs. Research-driven development. Bold founders. Looking

beyond the horizon?
Perhaps this time, a glance across the Rhine will suffice.
To all Käpsele – are you in?
