Switzerland excels at creating deep-tech start-ups. Now CSEM wants to help them scale

  • CSEM launches Start-up Elevate Program to help Swiss deep-tech start-ups overcome critical technology development hurdles on their path from prototype to industrial deployment.
  • Five selected pre-Series A start-ups will receive CHF 50,000 each in targeted technology development support, expertise, and access to CSEM infrastructure.
  • The program complements existing funding and coaching by giving young companies access to specialized technology development capabilities they often cannot yet build in-house.
  • Start-up Elevate builds on CSEM's mission to bridge the gap between technological innovation and industrial deployment, helping deep-tech start-ups bring breakthrough technologies to market.
