Start-ups looking for skilled professionals or which want to implement energy-cleantech or social and environmental projects all have the opportunity to profit from Impact Hub Zurich’s three start-up offers.

Impact Hub Zurich has three programmes on offer for start-ups with application deadlines in the next month. The first, Match.Me.Up!, brings together impact-driven start-ups looking for experienced professionals to boost their business through an interactive match-making event with a dynamic speed-dating format.

Young businesses send in their job offers and have the opportunity to meet and get to know selected candidates with the right skills and mindset to meet their requirements. Each start-up gets one minute to pitch their venture in front of the candidates; candidates then sign up for individual speed-dating slots of five minutes to meet their preferred start-ups. The match-making event takes place on 30 October at Impact Hub Zürich. Start-ups can find out more at an Info Lunch on 8 August; the application deadline is 20 August.

The second, Impact Hub Fellowship, a collaboration between Impact Hub Zürich and the Swiss Federal Office of Energy (SFOE), is looking for innovative business ideas in the field of energy-cleantech that need support. The programme aims to attract projects in the field of energy efficiency, renewable energy and energy storage and grids that have the potential to contribute to a more sustainable society. The Impact Hub Fellowship offers coaching, network access, financial support and workspace at Impact Hub Zürich and Geneva. Applications are open until 29 August.

Impact Hub Zürich, Social Impact and SAP Schweiz AG are looking for start-ups that adopt innovative and scalable methods to tackle social and environmental problems. Social Impact Start (SIS) supports social start-ups from idea through to implementation with a four to eight-month incubation stipend. All social and environmental ideas are welcome. The application deadline runs to 15 August.
