The next step in the selection process that makes the Prix Strategis so special is that over the next few months, HEC Lausanne students will meet with the semi-finalists to write a report on one of the 8 startups, which they will present to the Jury. This analysis will allow the Jury to make their selection of the finalists. These students bring an innovative perspective that makes the Prix Strategis so special. The names of the finalists will be announced in April 2023.
