Since 2016, MassChallenge Switzerland has been a leader in helping startups grow their businesses by accelerating 492 startups across the world in multiple industries. They have raised more than $600M in funding.
Our flagship program is the early-stage startup accelerator, which accepts startups from any industry, and in 2022 will comprise the agnostic program and 3 industry-specific tracks: Sustainable Food Solutions, Health Solutions, and Climate Solutions. All startups in the accelerator will be advised about how to make their business climate responsible and must intend to off-set their emissions or actively reduce GHG. The program in 2022 will likely be a mix of in person and online activity due to the pandemic.
In addition to the accelerator, MassChallenge Switzerland runs a challenge program matching later-stage startups with corporate partners in the food industry.
