18 UCreate projects pitched to a panel of judges to enter phase 2 of the program

19.12.23

Our 18 UCreate projects pitched to a panel of judges to move on to phase 2 of the programme. The teams had 3 minutes to convince the jury based on 5 criteria: the team, the problem to be solved, the desirability of the solution, differentiation and potential impact.

Discover the 10 members of the jury, chosen for their interdisciplinary expertise:

  • 2 UNIL alumni entrepreneurs: Cedric Rimella (I.D. Swiss Botanicals) and Semira Gonseth Nusslé (genknowme)
  • 3 members of our Advisory Board: Nasri Nahas (Biopôle Lausanne), Marc Laperrouza (EPFL) and Alberto Schena (PACTT)
  • 1 member of the Sustainability Competence Centre: Johann Recordon
  • 1 member of the HEC faculty: Isabelle Engeler
  • 3 partners: Julien Guex (FIT), Fabio Monte (QoQa) and Jonas Ramelet from Banque Cantonale Vaudoise, who is supporting us as a sponsor.

Thank you all for your involvement in the selection of the 10 projects that will move on to phase 2 of the UCreate programme this spring.

Stay tuned, we'll be presenting the teams at the beginning of the year! More information about UCreate at ucreate.ch/accelerator/
