Startup programs at Toyota, ABB and Pfizer aim to speed up the market entry of novel solutions addressing societal issues in the fields of mobility, security and therapeutics. Over the next months, three startups will benefit from the supporters’ offers and network as they strive for global growth.
As part of the Pfizer Inc. organization, Pfizer Ignite works with companies that want to accelerate the development and commercialization of their promising breakthroughs to ensure they reach the patients who need them. Selected companies benefit from various offers, including support, strategic input, and end-to-end services like research, development and manufacturing. Mabylon AG, a Swiss biotechnology company harnessing the therapeutic potential of naturally occurring human antibodies to treat allergies and neurodegenerative diseases, is one of the new entrants. By joining the program, Mabylon will leverage Pfizer’s extensive therapeutic development expertise to speed the progression of MY006, the startup’s innovative anti-peanut allergy antibody product, to bring it sooner to a patient population in great need of new treatment options.

Toyota supports Lighthouse Tech
Lighthouse Tech provides mobility assistance with eyewear frames for the visually impaired that combine fashion with obstacle-detection functionality. This solution fits the theme ‘Mobility for ALL―Bringing the Potential of Mobility to Everyone’, a category of the Toyota Mobility Foundation Make a Move Project aiming to realize the practical implementation of ideas and solutions in society. The start-up from Ticino has been selected for the program as the only European company. Lighthouse and the other 11 teams will each be awarded grants of up to 20 million yen (Approximately CHF 120,000) to accelerate the practical implementation of their ideas.
