The Prix Strategis is seeking applications from Swiss start-ups for the 27th year of the prize. Businesses must be less than five years old and already offering a product or service. Applications must be submitted by 31 October 2019.
HEC Espace Entreprise (HEE), the student association of HEC Lausanne (UNIL), has been awarding the Prix Strategis annually to the best Swiss start-up for the past 27 years. It is now a leading award and acts as a springboard for young start-ups, offering them excellent, national visibility and a cheque for CHF 50,000.
Start-ups such as LeShop.ch, Bestmile and Gamaya have all won the prize since it was first awarded in 1993, and are now established businesses in the Swiss economic landscape. Last May, the Prix Strategis was awarded to Nomoko, a start-up founded in Zurich in 2015, which stood out for creating an extremely accurate 3D replica of our planet.
Any Swiss start-up that is less than five years old and already offering a product or service is eligible to apply for next year’s prize. Applications are shortlisted by a panel of renowned experts, based on three criteria: the quality of the innovation, the potential for international growth, and operational management. The winning start-up will be announced at the award ceremony in May 2020.
The School wishes all the start-ups that apply the best of luck!
