The fourth edition of Boldbrain Startup Challenge, Ticino’s accelerator for innovative startups, has kicked off. Twenty teams representing the consumer products and services and the Medtech sector joined the program.

From the 104 applications submitted for the fourth edition of Boldbrain Startup Challenge, 48 were eligible according to the admission criteria, including the value of the idea and its scalability, the possible impact on the territory, the degree of innovation, the business model and the quality of the team. The commission of evaluators, composed of experts from the world of economy, education, and entrepreneurship in Ticino evaluated them to select twenty teams.

In the upcoming three months, the teams will undergo the acceleration program with support from professional consultants (coaches), meetings, and events, marking the program’s different phases until the ten finalists reach the Awards Ceremony scheduled for December 2 at the Palazzo dei Congressi in Lugano.
