(EPFL, February 13, 2024)

Startups that have emerged from EPFL's Startup Launchpad continued to showcase resilience during economic downturns and sustained growth, thanks to their innovative and tech-centric products and services. The nurturing environment and the entrepreneurship programs initiated by EPFL, which encourage an entrepreneurial spirit among students, fostered such a growth. These EPFL-connected startups scored a whopping record of CHF 470 million funding in 2023. In addition, the inaugural Investor Day, which took place in late 2023, also helped to showcase these startups born in the EPFL ecosystem.
