BUSINESS APÉRO IN TICINO

DESCRIPTION

Business Apéro is an annual information and networking event organised by USI and SUPSI and supported by Innosuisse.

This year we will be talking about negotiating your first deal as a startup. A big milestone for any B2B startup is securing a pilot project or, even better, a contract with a corporate client. However, normally, there is an information gap and a big gap in bargaining power between an up-and-coming innovative startup and an established company. What to be aware of? How to prepare before a client meeting to maximise your chances of success? And what are the potential negotiation strategies? Join us for the next Business Apéro to discuss all of this with experts, entrepreneurs and industry professionals.

The event is open to entrepreneurs, students, researchers and anyone interested in the topic.
