Until Friday, July the 15th, applications are open for the fifth edition of the Boldbrain Startup Challenge. Innovative entrepreneurs who wish to undertake an accelerated three-month training course can submit their application to the program, which will allow them to develop their idea and turn it into a profitable business starting from Ticino.
Boldbrain is a 90-day accelerator program for 20 selected startups. The initiative is part of the network of Swiss accelerators but stands out for two important features: it is designed for startups in the "early stage" phase (when the idea is in its initial phase) and it is open to all sectors of activity. The only conditions required are the innovative character and scalability of the project.
In the 2023 edition, the program will be enhanced by the support of new major partners and a networking event aimed at fostering connections between competing teams and companies and institutions that have decided to support Boldbrain Startup Challenge.
