🙏 Swisspreneur … again great networking event with lots of inspiring scalup cruisers.

🎉 Congratulations to all the winners and founders of the TOP100 Swiss Startup Awards #TOP100SSU!! And good to see that 5 of the 2024 TOP10 startups are in climate-tech! DePoly (winner 🏆), Corintis, Planted, Voltiris, Bloom Biorenewables and Flybotix. 🚀 But how to boost your business as change maker? The Technology Fund provides loan guarantees in an amount of up to CHF 3 million to innovative small and medium-sized entities (SME) whose products contribute to the mitigation of climate change. Environmental benefits can be achieved by: ✅ Reducing carbon emissions ✅ Improving energy efficiency ✅ Promoting renewable energies ✅ Conserving resources One example in the portfolio is Planted Foods SA “The Technology fund has helped us get access to non dilutive funding via senior debt at a very early stage. This was crucial and is a huge advantage versus much higher priced venture debt.” Christoph Jenny, cofounder Planted   Planted produces plant-based meat with only natural ingredients focusing on meaty texture and bite. The Zurich foodtech ETH spin-off was founded in 2019. The award- winning company’s pioneering work takes an innovative approach by combining proprietary extrusion as well as fermentation technology, thereby making a sustainable contribution to the environment. With this, Planted significantly helps conserving resources. Is the Technologiefonds also right for your project?

Did you know, that already over 130 Swiss companies in our portfolio help reduce carbon emissions and save resources in a wide variety of ways? Cumulatively since 2015, this results in an estimated saving of 8.7 million metric tonnes of Co2. To put this in perspective, one single tonne of CO2 is equivalent to approx. 3'300 kilometers with a petrol car. 🌱 With your innovative product, will you be one of our next change makers in the portfolio? The companies supported by the Technologiefonds are significantly benefiting the environment i.e. by ✅ Reducing carbon emissions ✅ Improving energy efficiency ✅ Promoting renewable energies ✅ Conserving resources One example is Libattion AG, a company focused on producing more sustainable lithium batteries to enhance the circular economy of used lithium batteries from electric vehicles. Their modular e-Racks can be utilized for storing excess energy from renewables, as well as providing peak shaving and ancillary services for industries. Additionally, Libattion AG offers software that optimizes energy use in buildings and industries. Through the Cloud Battery Platform, customers gain access to precise, real-time data, enabling more efficient energy management. This innovation plays a crucial role in reducing carbon emissions. 💡 As Stefan Bahamonde, CEO at Libattion AG, stated, “The Technology Fund has been instrumental in helping us bring this innovative solution to market, significantly contributing to our goal of creating a more sustainable future.” Is the Technology Fund also right for your project?

🌱 Wie können Unternehmen auch in schwierigen Zeiten ihre innovativen Lösungen zur Verminderung von Treihausgasemissionen gezielter weiterentwickeln und kommerzialisieren?   🚀 Mit verbürgten Darlehen bis zu CHF 3 Mio. unterstützt der Technologiefonds (Förderinstrument des Bundes) Schweizer Unternehmen in der Wachstumsphase, d.h. es geht hier nicht mehr um vage Ideen und Konzepte.   💡 Hier ein Beispiel: Portfoliounternehmen OceanSafe   Das Technologieunternehmen OceanSafe entwickelt synthetische Alternativen zu herkömmlichen Textilmaterialen wie Polyester. Diese Materialen sind biologisch abbaubar, kreislauffähig, recycelbar, emittieren kein persistentes Mikroplastik und beinhalten keine toxischen Substanzen. Die Emission von C02 und der Verbrauch von Wasser werden dadurch gegenüber herkömmlicher Produktion massiv reduziert.   Was braucht es, um vom Technologiefonds unterstützt zu werden?
