ESA BIC Switzerland has a Permanent Open Call

This means you can always apply, all year round. However, there are a few fixed dates during the year when we decide who can join and you find these dates under Dates & Events.

To make the application process most efficient, for you and us, we have introduced a first two-page form, which we recommend you to go through before moving on to the full application documents.

First: Two-Page Form – Shall I Apply?

First, you simply register and fill out a short two-page form. Please follow here.

We will provide feedback to your filled out two-page form. This will help you to better decide whether it makes sense for you to fill out the full application documents, or possibly do so at a later state.

Second: Full Application to the Permanent Open Call

We strongly suggest to go through the two-page form above, before filling out the full application documents. The two-page form helps you to evaluate whether the full application makes sense. For the full application, simply do the following:

• Get all the documents and do not miss to read the “Introduction to Permanent Open Call” documents.
• Complete and send us the application documents: 1. Cover letter; 2. Incubation proposal; 3. Business plan.
• If you have any questions or need help, please contact us at startups@esabic.ch and we are there to assist you!
• The deadline for the next selection round applies to the Full Application.
• If you are unsure whether your project/start-up is “in scope”, please fill in the two-page form first

Please submit one signed original of your full application consisting of the three documents mentioned above (and any related appendices) to ESA BIC Switzerland, c/o ETH Zurich, Dr Nanja Strecker, Stampfenbachstrasse 52, 8092 Zürich and one electronic version to: startups@esabic.ch
