Innovations are a key driver of the Swiss economy. They ensure our prosperity. The presentation of the Swiss Technology Award supports and promotes this culture of innovation. Each year, outstanding technology-based innovations and developments from start-ups, universities and technical institutions as well as established businesses are awarded prizes in three categories. 

The finalists get brand presence at the Swiss Innovation Conference with international appeal:

  • Brand & stage presence at the Swiss Innovation Conference
  • Business contacts to over 700 decision makers from economy, politics and science
  • Wide media reach
  • High-quality image film about the company and innovation
  • Access to the Swiss Innovation Forum
  • Further network opportunities in the following year

Criteria

The prize is awarded in three categories

Inventors
You have made a breakthrough in your research or development activity, and are set to demonstrate the functionality of your idea with a prototype. Your focus is primarily on the area of technology and therefore not on drawing up a business plan.

  • Industry-focused and/or university-based technology project 
  • Concrete project with a good chance of success 
  • Possession of a separate legal entity not necessary / before founding a company 


Start-ups
You have already taken real ownership of how your idea will be implemented with a company structure. Your product is defined and ideally you already have prototypes. You have looked into possibilities for financing, production and marketing, and are able to produce a solid business plan.

  • Company founded after 1 January 2017
  • Functioning prototype / Proof of concept 
  • Market and customer feedback ideally already available 
  • Initial sales or funding rounds realised 


Innovation Leader
You are an established company that possesses a successful product portfolio. Your R&D activities have resulted in a new, convincing project that will bring clear benefits to environmental, economic and/or social sustainability. The project promises a product that delivers distinct, improved performance compared with today’s technology. By utilising new technological developments, employing new materials and methods and/or generally using resources more efficiently, your innovation provides a solution to global challenges and opens up new markets or conserves resources.

  • Other products already on the market 
  • Key figures show improved resource efficiency/social sustainability or concrete cost savings.
