75 start-ups will participate in the 2017 MassChallenge accelerator in Lausanne. More than one third is coming from abroad.
The start-ups were selected from 450 applications. The 75 companies work across a range of industries, including high-tech (43%), healthcare and life-sciences (24%), social impact (8%) and clean-tech and energy (5%). The remaining 20% are of general interest.
« With 65% of Swiss projects, we maintain a large proportion of home-grown projects. However, this also means that 35% come from abroad, which allows us to imagine and draw the contours of the Swiss industry of tomorrow, strong thanks to its cultural diversity » states Thierry Duvanel, Managing Director of MassChallenge Switzerland. He adds: « We are also happy to maintain a strong variety of projects. The crosscutting dynamics of MassChallenge allows us to create bridges between the various industries and to strengthen our impact in the field of global innovation creating value and jobs ».
The 75 start-ups will participate in MassChallenge’s four-month accelerator program, where they receive world-class mentoring from industry experts, tailored programming, free co-working space, and access to corporate partners. The accelerator culminates at the end of October with the MassChallenge Switzerland Awards Ceremony, where start-ups will pitch for the opportunity to win a portion of up to CHF1 million in zero-equity awards.
MassChallenge today also announced the 2017 startup classes for Boston (128 startups) and Israel (52 startups). These startups join MassChallenge’s established international community of 1,211 alumni.
