Overview
The Alpine High-tech Venture Forum (AHVF) was a unique event for the most innovative entrepreneurs operating in Switzerland and its surrounding regions focused on Life Sciences, Clean Technology and Information Technology to meet and present themselves to active international investors and corporations seeking for investment and partnerships.
AHVF was hosted by Canton de Vaud and this year was in its seventh edition.
