Accelerate your project
We believe successful entrepreneurs need to be fully dedicated to their startup project – it can’t be a side job!
With an Innogrant, you’ll have up to one year dedicated to accelerating your startup project and getting ready to spinoff.
The CHF 100K grant is intended as a salary for the future startup founder, for a maximum duration of one year.
You will need to be hosted in an EPFL Lab where you will be incubating your spinoff.
You have a clear startup vision based on a novel and scalable technical solution.
You have demonstrated your technology in a lab.
You have market traction.
You have a clear plan on what you need to achieve in the next year.
You have a strong connection to a hosting EPFL lab
First and foremost, the Innogrant is an entrepreneur grant –
convince us that you are motivated, show us that you can execute and deliver.
Secondly, we are looking for innovative technology with the potential to make a real impact. What is novel about your technology? What problem are you solving? Why is this important?
Thirdly we are looking for a startup vision with a real promise. What is the market need? How feasible is your project plan?
Start by giving us more information about your project by filling in the online form “contact us” hereunder. This is the starting point for our support.
We’re keen to support you at every step of the way. If you think an Innogrant is something you’d like to apply for, get in touch with your Startup Unit contact. We’ll work together on the best way forward.
