Who can participate?
This is an invite-only event designed for:
-
Startups from SPARK Europe, U.S and Switzerland
-
Early-stage life science investors (VCs, CVCs, Family Offices)
The goal is to foster high-value connections across academia, industry, and investment, bringing research to real-world impact.
SPARK at Stanford program is the cornerstone for our program. It was established by Professor Daria Mochly-Rosen in 2006 for advancing new biomedical research discoveries into promising new treatments for patients. It provides top-notch mentoring and education, and a cost-effective model to generate proof of concept by using industry standards.
SPARK Western Switzerland follows the same principles that have been cornerstones of SPARK at Stanford, and our program is an official member of SPARK Global network since September 2024.
