XTC 2022 - Switzerland Finals
EdenBase is proud to support the Extreme Tech Challenge Switzerland!
17th March ▪︎ 5pm - 7pm (CET) ▪︎ Online
The Extreme Tech Challenge (XTC) is the world's largest startup competition for purpose-driven companies.
Sangha Capital (which also collaborates closely with EdenBase), amongst many other partners, are bringing XTC to Switzerland for the first time ever!
This competition aims to help startups change the world for the better and they have the support of leading corporations, VCs, foundations, policymakers, universities and tech conferences.
When startups apply to the competition, due to the community around it, they are exposed to global visibility, opportunity for investment if they reach the finals and word-class mentorship who can help to shape the startup for success.
The values of the competition are aligned with the United Nations’ 17 sustainable development goals which give a framework, and they empower startups to innovate facilitating 10 key categories that are inspired by the 17 SDGs.
This is the first year that Switzerland is launching a new regional competition organised by Sangha Capital so that it can expand its community locally and internationally.
Moderated by Gokce Gizer, the XTC Swiss finals event will be held ONLINE Thursday 17th of March from 5pm - 7pm CET.
Congratulations to the startups that made it to the XTC Switzerland Top 10:
