Founders who are awarded the UZH Startup Label are officially allowed to communicate as UZH Startup and benefit from the recognition by the University of Zurich.
The UZH Startup Label is an agreement between UZH and the spin-off/startup to use the «UZH Startup Label logo» on websites, as well as on company presentations to show affiliation with UZH and to increases the credibility of the spin-off/startup vis-à-vis customers and investors.
A total of 155 spin-offs have been founded at UZH since 1999, of which 131 (84 %) are still active.
This is a remarkable percentage considering that according to current statistics from the Federal Statistical Office, the survival rate of newly founded companies in Switzerland is only around 50 % after five years. 2023 was a particularly successful year for several UZH spin-offs.
