    Creating partnerships between high-growth startups and established organizations.

    Kickstart is one of Europe's largest zero equity, multi-corporate ecosystem innovation platforms that runs a scale-up program for later-stage startups with a goal to accelerate deep tech innovation.

They require unprecedented collaboration between established organizations and the most audacious entrepreneurs out there. Thereby, Kickstart is committed to building an innovation ecosystem that brings high-growth startups, corporates, cities, foundations and universities together.

    Each year Kickstart brings around 100 startups to Switzerland to collaborate with key players for proofs-of-concept, pilot projects and other innovation partnerships. The program provides exceptional access to the executives and decision-makers of Kickstart’s partners.

    Being an initiative of Impact Hub Zürich and launched by digitalswitzerland in 2015, Kickstart runs 5 verticals (New Work & Learning, Finance & Insurance, Food & Retail, Smart Cities and Health & Wellbeing), an Intrapreneurship Academy and the Circular Economy Initiative.
