CSEM launches Start-up Elevate Program for Swiss deep-tech
CSEM has announced the Start‑up Elevate Program, which will select five pre‑Series A deep‑tech start‑ups and provide each with CHF 50,000 of targeted technology development support to overcome a critical technical barrier. The initiative aims to bridge the gap that often appears when companies move from prototype to industrial deployment, offering access to CSEM’s engineering expertise and infrastructure. Applications for the first cohort close at the end of November 2026, with projects starting in January 2027.
