Startups: apply for the 27th Prix Strategis before October 31

Since 1993, the Prix Strategis has been rewarding the best Swiss start-up with CHF 50,000 and national media coverage.

In 2020, the Prix Strategis jury will crown Switzerland's best start-up for the 27th time. In addition to the CHF 50,000 prize money, the winner will benefit above all from the visibility offered by the Prize.
