“STAGE UP really amazed us on how well organized everything was, everything worked like the finest Swiss watch! Also what we really liked was that it didn’t really feel like we were competing, but rather that all participants were part of a great entrepreneurial family. We definitely recommend STAGE UP to all entrepreneurs.”
“Thank you very much for letting us be there. We have learned an enormous amount and benefited a lot from this format.”
“The STAGE UP program granted us the opportunity to share our vision and to fine-tune our business strategy. The victory of ENZOXA garnered substantial visibility among stakeholders, and created invaluable connections with key players in the field. Overall, STAGE UP has accelerated our development in developing a novel plant-based medicine targeting H. pylori.”
“STAGE UP challenged us, inspired us and fortunately also awarded us! The serious feedback from seasoned entrepreneurs is a highlight, and the networking is super valuable. Getting all this support for our mission to restore wetlands gives us momentum and extra motivation to push forward on our journey to help solve the climate and biodiversity crisis.”
“The STAGE UP program and competition brought our team in contact with experts, which helped us to improve our financial plan and pitching skills. We also established valuable connections within the Swiss start-up ecosystem. The final pitch competition was a great opportunity to promote our project to the public and receive feedback from the jury.”
«Thanks to STAGE UP, we were able to make our vision known. Renowned personalities from the bernese business community have approached us and assured us of their support. From that point of view, the prize is a door opener.»
