Startup support program
HWZ x Launch Control
What is Launch Control?
Launch Control is a startup support program based in Winterthur, initiated by Home of Innovation, which supports innovative business ideas from startups from the initial phase through to scaling. With programs such as “Bring Your Idea to Life” and “Boost Your Business,” Launch Control accompanies founders on their way to successful establishment in the market.
What does the collaboration look like?
Starting in March 2025, students and employees of HWZ with their own business ideas will be able to participate in Launch Control’s “Bring Your Idea to Life” program. They will benefit from the expertise and network of an experienced incubator and receive the same comprehensive access to services as all other participants. The aim of the partnership is to create a practical learning environment and further expand HWZ as a leading institution in the field of entrepreneurship.
Thanks to the collaboration between Launch Control and HWZ, participation is free of charge for HWZ students and HWZ employees.
