Post Description

Start-ups are drivers of innovation and progress🌟

This is exactly where the support of the "business incubators" glatec and Startfeld part of Switzerland Innovation Park Ost comes in. For years, these platforms have accompanied young companies on their way from idea to success. With impressive results: A total of 37 Empa spin-offs have already emerged, creating more than 1100 jobs. This is a testament to the huge potential of technology and entrepreneurship.

A prime example is the Empa spin-off MIRO Analytical, whose multi-gas analyzers are revolutionizing the measurement of greenhouse gases. Its success led to its acquisition by industry leader Bruker Corporation in 2023. Another success: BTRY, a start-up that develops safer and more sustainable thin-film batteries and has made it directly to the ESA Business Innovation Center.

The key? A strong team, entrepreneurial flexibility and a clear market orientation. Because technologies alone are not enough – they have to solve real problems. At glatec and Startfeld, start-ups get exactly the support they need: from mentoring to premises to valuable networks.

With initiatives such as the HSG START Accelerator and Switzerland Innovation Park Ost , funding is being further expanded in order to provide even more targeted support for start-ups, especially in the critical growth phase.
