The CTI Startup Label is once again in the hands of five innovative startups. Lunaphore, Nexilis, Pingen, Relish Brothers and Sintratec received the CTI Label.

The CTI Startup Label is awarded to startups that have successfully completed all the three stages of the CTI coaching process.

This week, the CTI Label was awarded to five startups from the industries: medtech, internet and software, hardware and music.

The new CTI Label companies are:

The company has developed an innovative tissue diagnostic platform for the analysis and classification of tumours based on a microfluidic technology. This product can analyse tumours much faster than devices used today. This opens a door to personalised cancer therapies. At the moment labs hospitals and research and service labs are testing the prototype. It is planned to bring the platform to production level in 2016.

NEXILIS AG is a Grenchen based start-up developing proprietary device products for fixation of implants in poor bone quality.

Relish Brothers AG is based in Kriens. Two Swiss luthiers, musicians and entrepreneurs with a passion for music joined hands to establish Relish Brothers in 2013. They have designed and developed two innovative electronic guitars called Jane and Mary with a unique soun thanks to the combination of the materials and its construction.
