Haelixa - das Geschäft mit der Transparenz - TV - Play SRF
Edelsteine, die unter menschenwürdigen Bedingungen geschürft wurden. Baumwolle, die nachweisbar aus Europa stammt. Konsumenten wollen immer genauer wissen, was für Produkte sie kaufen. Das ist nun mit einem DNA-Marker machbar. Die ETH-Chemikerin Michela Puddu hat den Marker mit ihrem Start-up Haelixa entwickelt. Nun muss sie die Idee nur noch den Textilunternehmen schmackhaft machen.
Transparency is in our DNA
Tracing the origin of products
The TOP 100 Swiss Startup Ranking features the 100 most promising startups that are not older than five years and are selected by a jury of early-stage investors.
Venture Kick supports potential entrepreneurs with start capital up to CHF 150'000 as well as hands-on execution support and access to a nationwide network of investors and experts in the startup field. Multiple times per year, 8 selected projects get the opportunity to present their business ideas in front of a panel. The 5 most promising projects enter the support process. After 9 months at the latest, the startups incorporate and enter the market. Since 2007, Venture Kick has invested over CHF 58 million in over 1111 projects.
The Venture Leaders - the members of the Swiss national startup team- have a clear-cut goal. They envision themselves as global players and want to take the first step to their global expansion. The ten-day business development program is specifically structured to help them achieve this goal.
The venture business plan competition takes place every year and combines a competition, learning events and contact form in one. It is an initiative of the ETH Zurich, CTI and McKinsey.
