The MassChallenge Startup Summit is a yearly event awarding the most promising companies graduating from the MC acceleration programs in Boston, London and Israel. This year to celebrate Switzerland’s entrepreneurial talent, and mark the launch of MassChallenge Switzerland we have selected several startups, among them former MC alumni as well as a selection of “the 50 Swiss startups in which to invest” (an initiative by Bilan). For this exclusive event, the startups will be allowed to pitch their projects to the audience composed of experienced entrepreneurs, investors and academics.
