For the 2021 program the MassChallenge Switzerland team has designed an online / onsite hybrid accelerator program. The startups come from 31 countries spanning over 4 continents and have the potential to create widespread impact across industries. The Swiss participants include:

XRnanotech: Nanoscale X-ray optics allowing to investigate the smallest ever structures with unprecedented image quality

VISENSE: remote error diagnosis solution that gives you real-time insights into industrial production errors

anavo medical: Nanoparticle paste to boost wound closure, keep bacterial infections in check and tissue alive

Babylat: device for protein enrichment of human milk, with proteins extracted from human milk for preterm babies 

Epios: personalized and precision management of brain disorders using daily life monitoring and therapeutics.

miniMarrow (stealth mode)

Parithera: liquid biopsy to isolate more tumour cells circulating in the blood stream enabling precision oncology

Spirecut: surgical instruments for percutaneous treatment. No skin incision, less complications, early return to normal life.

TissueLabs: a platform for creating organs and tissues in the lab. The start-up offers biomaterials, equipment, and services for 3D bioprinting.

VAY: B2B solution training computers to perfectly perceive and predict human motion using just a regular camera to digitize physical therapy, rehab & fitness

Oxyle: efficient wastewater treatment with game-changing reactors and nanoporous catalysts that degrade >90% of toxic & persistent pollutants from effluents
