Through our incubation programme, we support early-stage, science-driven startups that originate from USI, SUPSI, and affiliated research partners. The programme is designed for projects that have reached at least the Proof of Concept (PoC) stage and show clear potential for scaling. Applications are accepted on an ongoing basis. Interested candidates are invited to provide an overview of their project, including the problem they aim to solve, their innovative solution (Invention), the competitive landscape, and their target customers. We also expect teams to demonstrate relevant background and both technology expertise and market knowledge.

If you are still in the ideation phase, our "Desk" service offers initial feedback, practical recommendations for next steps, and information about other support programmes available in Switzerland.
