Initiated by Pro Helvetia and under the label Design Switzerland, PITCH and MATCH LAB is a platform that connects young Swiss designers with potential partners from industry.

The prototypes of 7 studios will be exhibited within the lounge, allowing the public to get a closer look at a variety of products: an innovative wheelbarrow, a modular shelving system, a foldable indoor greenhouse or elegant cutlery, amongst others.

Exchange between the designers and the audience, either professional or general public, is the key mission of this PITCH and MATCH LAB and various formats will be experienced: targeted speedmentoring during the professional day or prototype pitches on Saturday (public day).
