New partnership with Kickstart

Since its launch in 2015, Kickstart has grown into one of the largest European innovation platforms, implementing open-innovation for later-stage startups with numerous leading Swiss and global companies.

This year, Circular Economy is a new initiative, tackling new solutions across all verticals. It will be implemented in cooperation with Impact Hub Switzerland , as part of the Circular Economy Transition initiative. “The goal is to support startups working with the organizations in public and private sectors in Switzerland and beyond, to implement more circular models and practices. Innovations based on technologies can significantly accelerate the transition to a circular economy in Switzerland, ” according to Holger Schmid, Swiss Director of MAVA Foundation , which supports Kickstart.

The application window for Kickstart 2020 is open until June 8. More info here.
