Applications are now open for Q4 2026 for Swiss startups interested in exploring China’s ecosystem. The application deadline is July 20, 2026.
This year’s Q4 Startup Camp will bring together a select group of startups and provide focused support for immersion in China’s innovation landscape as part of a market exploration and validation program. Additionally, participants will have the opportunity to join Swissnex in China’s programs in late October, centered on exploring how we design and govern sustainable futures.
As part of this focus, the Q4 program is particularly well-suited to startups working on challenges related to the built environment, sustainable infrastructure, energy systems, and climate and green technologies.
The schedule includes closed-door expert sessions on these themes, as well as meetings with industry leaders, researchers, and potential partners. Participants will have the chance to connect with key industry exhibitions, too, such as the International City and Architecture Expo 2026 and Bauma Shanghai.
Who can apply?
- Innovative Swiss startups enrolled in Innosuisse’s Initial, Core, or Scale-up Coaching programs.
- Innovative Swiss startups have been awarded the Innosuisse Certificate within the past three years.
The Q4 program runs from 26–31 October 2026. Individual programs close to this timeframe are possible as well.
