 ntry into the existing Swiss start-up promotion ecosystem. Individuals or 
 teams can submit an application form with no admission fees. The workshop 
 is free of charge for accepted idea teams.  The high-technology business 
 idea may or may not have been recently patented\, or applicants may have a
  high-tech business idea but are still wondering about the next steps to t
 ake.\nThe workshop has proven to be a fast and efficient way to vet projec
 ts and business ideas and launch pre-seed stage companies.  It has been c
