DIZH Project-Call: Funded projects

In the 2. Founder Call, 11 projects aiming to establish a start-up or spin-off will be supported from the idea stage to proof of concept. The early start-up ideas will be supported with start-up financing, enabling potential founders to demonstrate that their conceptually developed projects are feasible in practice. Algorithm-based leukaemia diagnosis, digital memory boxes for people with dementia and EdTech certification demonstrate the breadth of the projects.
