Record high number of ETH Zurich spin-offs in 2018
Summary
In the course of the digital transformation, artificial intelligence will also become increasingly important: six of the new companies are working with machine learning methods. The spin-off Scailyte is developing a software that can analyse patterns in huge volumes of data from individual cells and link them to various diseases. The young founders possess more than simply a good idea and faith in their own abilities, as is clearly shown by a look at the balance sheets: over the last year, ETH spin-offs were able to attract more than CHF 170 million in capital. With the help of the Pioneer Fellowship Programme, young researchers can develop innovative products or services based on their academic work at ETH Zurich. The Innovation and Entrepreneurship Lab (ieLab) brings together young ETH talent and experienced industry entrepreneurs.
