For this special anniversary, the event focused on ConstructionTech and Smart Materials. We picked eight start-ups from more than 80 applications and invited them to present at our main Zurich office in the Prime Tower. The jury was made up of our internal specialists from the Portfolio Management, Construction & Development, Corporate Ventures & Innovation divisions as well as specifically
selected business and network partners.
Four start-ups managed to impress the jury members with the potential of their products and services. In the hours that followed, the objective for these finalists
was to further demonstrate this potential and develop specific use cases. Our experts supported the start-ups, offering their knowledge and individualised coaching. «By interacting with the start-ups and my colleagues in the industry, I had the opportunity to move beyond the day-to-day business tasks, allowing me to think more openly and discover new solutions», said one jury member.
