Incubation

We support the most promising EPFL startup projects and help them become the success we know they can be.

If you are an EPFL Master’s student, PhD, Postdoc, or professor with a great idea for a startup, we are here to help you turn that idea into a successful business.

We understand that launching a startup can be a challenging journey, but with our coaching, incubation grants, and tailored support for Sciencepreneurs, we can guide you through the early stages of your project and provide the tools you need to thrive.

Depending on your situation, our incubation offer may include financial assistance, expert advice on operations and marketing, access to cutting-edge resources, and opportunities to connect with a powerful network.

Our team is dedicated to empowering you to reach your full potential as an entrepreneur or Sciencepreneur, and we are excited to support you on your journey to success.
