⛱ As people are enjoying their holidays and are spending time abroad, we are delighted to also welcome explorers from near and far in our Innovation Garage. One of our visitors this week isUdisha Singhtraveling to us from Spain. 🌏Who want's to learn a bit more about her? 😎 👇 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗴𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗰𝘂𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗹𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗻? I am an engineer by training and worked in Data Analytics and Strategy before coming to Barcelona for my MBA at IESE Business School. Right now I am working with Alessandro Mazzetti to find and benchmark the funding instruments available to healthcare startups in the tri-national region of France, Germany and North-western Switzerland.𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗼𝘄 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 Innovation Office University of Basel ?I have always loved doing something new and challenging. I am interested in being a part of the Heathcare sector. Not being a medical professional myself, business, strategy and finance were my skills to play with and I wanted my MBA experience to be about exploring what I can do with everything that I have learned and experienced throughout my life. What excites me about this project, is the fact that I am using what I have learned in my 1st year at the MBA and I can implement it towards the challenge of helping startups raise funds in the current economic situation. Hopefully not only now but as a solid foundation for the future as well.𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗦𝘄𝗶𝘁𝘇𝗲𝗿𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗿 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗹.

I am now very excited to explore the alps a bit in the coming days and go on some mountain adventures - ziplining, renting a scooter to drive down the mountains or sky diving even. I am excited to make the most of my stay here.Thank you for visiting usUdisha Singh 🥂 We are excited to collaborate with you on your project and hope you have a great time in Switzerland for the remaining time of your stay! ⛰ #Pupella #InnovationGarage #InternationalCollaboration #Explorer
