The idea
Switzerland is home to innovation. The Startup Battle showcases the ideas of young and bright entrepreneurs and how they want to change the future.
15 selected startups from Switzerland present how they create an impact. The jury and the audience decide on the 5 finalists, who pitch in front of an exclusive jury for the win. The rules: Every startup has 90 seconds time to pitch their idea and to convince you!
