Once again, Venture demonstrates Switzerland’s innovation potential and distinctive entrepreneurship. The record number of submissions in the last competition was clearly exceeded with over 140 business plans submitted, proving that Switzerland’s start-up scene is very vibrant and alive, even in these challenging economic times.
Come see for yourself what technologies the future might hold at the final Awards Ceremony and learn about the power of the innovations. The three initiators of Venture 2010, ETH Zurich, McKinsey & Company, and CTI, cordially invite you to our public event, during which the ten best business plans will be honored:

After the official event, join us in celebrating the winners at the legendary Venture Party, which will take place this year in the ETH’s exclusive Dozentenfoyer, high above the Zurich skyline, featuring a spectacular view of the city. In this exclusive atmosphere, you’ll be able to meet the winning teams and well-known personalities from the Swiss economy and start-up scene, while enjoying the apéro-stand-up dinner.
