Turning a promising idea into a thriving company takes more than ambition – it takes visibility, guidance and the right connections at the right moment. To help emerging ventures find exactly that, ThinkSport has launched a new incubation programme dedicated to startups based in, or expanding into, Switzerland.
Designed as a one-year journey, the programme is built to value and support early-stage startups as they grow within one of the world’s most dynamic sport innovation ecosystems. Rather than offering one-off assistance, it provides a structured environment in which founders can develop their ventures with continuity and meaningful support over time.
The programme is structured around five pillars:
- Visibility – raising the profile of each start-up within the Swiss and international sport community.
- Mentoring – connecting founders with experienced experts who can guide their development.
- Connection – opening doors to new relationships across the ecosystem.
- Events – granting access to key gatherings where ideas, partnerships and opportunities take shape.
- Co-working – offering a dedicated space to work, collaborate and grow.
ThinkSport is proud to welcome its first cohort of seven startups:
VitalizeDX, Undae Science, Bioloopers, BlockSport, VTX Athletes, Clubee and GINGA.
Together, they reflect the diversity and creativity that define the next generation of sport innovation.
For ThinkSport, this initiative is a natural extension of its mission: to stimulate innovative projects and foster collaboration and knowledge exchange across the sport ecosystem. By investing in start-ups over the long term, the programme aims not only to strengthen individual ventures, but to enrich the wider community of innovators based at the heart of the Olympic capital.
As the first edition gets under way, ThinkSport looks forward to accompanying these seven companies on their journey – and to seeing the ideas they bring to life over the year ahead.
