The Prix Strategis organized by HEC Espace Entreprise is one of the important Swiss startup prizes. All innovative Swiss startups can apply until 7 November. The winner will receive CHF50’000.

Awarded every year for more than 20 years by the association HEC Espace Entreprise, Prix Strategis is steadily expanding and willing to assert itself as the Swiss entrepreneurship Prize. Prix Strategis was intended to springboard young enterprises’ growth that have a big potential. It was designed to promote promising startups at a key moment of their existence in a financial, mediatic and strategic point of view. To make the 20th edition of the Prize special as well as the following ones, the organisers decided to open Prix Strategis to all startups throughout Switzerland.

The period for applications runs until 7 November. Registration takes place in three stages. Purely formal at first, it begins with a brief description of the company's business. A second document containing more detailed questions about the shape and activity of the company will then be sent to the applicants. Some financial information can then be requested. These however, are not mandatory at this stage. On the basis of these documents, the jury will make a first selection of 8 start-ups. 

In a third step, if a company is chosen among the semi-finals, a visit orchestrated by a pair of students accompanied by a consultant will allow to write an executive summary which will provide a new support for the jury. At this stage, all information can be requested to the extent of business secrecy. These are strictly confidential.

On the basis of the report stated above, the second meeting of the members of the jury in beginning of March will determine the finalists. The winner will be decided at a third meeting in April, during which they will make a short presentation of their concept following the guidelines set by the organizing committee.

More information can be found on the website of the award.
