The Innovation Forum is an international grassroots network of scientific entrepreneurs aiming to build a global innovation community to connect academics, industry professionals and policy makers. We accelerate the translation of cutting-edge science into innovative start-up ideas by fostering collaboration and connecting early stage ideas with the support they need. 

IMAGINE IF! is our leading global competition and pre-acceleration program for science-based ventures providing start-ups with extensive opportunities to take their venture to the next level: tailored mentorship, the potential to secure non-dilutive capital, free advice from leading professional service companies and rapid networking.

We already have branches in the UK, Hong Kong, Serbia, Barcelona, New York, Lausanne and even more.

Right now we have 10 members from EPFL and UNIL and we are looking for new creative, disciplined and strongly motivated people to join our Business Development and Events team – organising conferences, workshops, seminars, panel discussions, formal and informal networking events. Check out our previous activities on our website. 

Currently we are looking for volunteer Business Development Associates and Event Managers. All our positions are voluntary and you can expect to gain exceptional networking opportunities and fundraising and organisational skills.
