The Swiss Economic Award is the most important prize for young entrepreneurs in Switzerland. Since 1999, the Swiss Economic Forum (SEF) has each year awarded prizes for exceptional entrepreneurship in the fields of “Services”, “High-tech / Biotech” and “Production/Trade & Industry”. The renowned jury, chaired by Monika Ribar, rewards companies which stand out in their sectors with innovation and creativity and which reveal great future potential. All start-up companies based in Switzerland that were founded on or after 1 January 2012 are eligible to enter for this year’s instalment. Applications can be submitted until the end of January 2018.

With the SQS certified Swiss Economic.Award, the Swiss Economic Forum (SEF) and its award partners PwC, Swisscom and UBS seek to promote entrepreneurship and encourage new business talent in Switzerland.

Multiple Rewards

The winners of the Swiss Economic Award will benefit from a unique range of prizes and rewards: As well as prize money of CHF 25,000 each, the successful entrepreneurs receive expert feedback, valuable media exposure, access to the unique SEF network and simplified access to the growth initiative SEF4KMU.

The 15 best start-ups of the year will take part at the Campus Day on 12 April 2018. The event brings together young entrepreneurs with established companies, investors and academics. Each company will present itself on stage by way of a 3-minute pitch and a Q&A session. Subsequently, experts and the audience will rate the entrepreneurs and determine the 9 finalists who on 7/8 June 2018 will present themselves at the SEF 2018 in Interlaken in front of 1,350 Swiss business leaders.
