Vision

  • Offer the value chain as a funnel for entrepreneurship, technology and innovation for the best talents in Switzerland as an exemplary ecosystem.

​​

  • Bundle and cross-link existing initiatives, development and expansion of initiatives in existing gaps. 

​​

  • Generate vigor and visibility for the Swiss innovation ecosystem

The Kick Program offers Switzerland’s best talents a broad-based training and funding program for the business, technology, and innovation sector under a graded selection process from the initial idea in school, via tertiary education to growth financing.

The aim of this meta orchestration is to network existing and new startup initiatives along the value chain and to accelerate the innovation and funding processes. The Gebert Rüf Stiftung  InnoBooster and First Ventures initiatives are integrated into the Kick programme's funding pipeline.

In a pioneering way this value chain is supported by donations from the Kickfund. The Kickfund is a legally independent entity investing in business cases from the Kick pipeline.
