Kidemis AG's participation in the Startup Camp powered by Innosuisse and managed by Swissnex was nothing short of transformative. From the moment we arrived, we were met with a team of dedicated and proactive staff who were genuinely invested in our success. They provided invaluable insights into the intricacies of the Chinese market, helping us navigate on-the-ground realities with ease. Swissnex's deep understanding of local dynamics and their unwavering support enabled us to refine our market entry strategy. They went above and beyond to facilitate connections with key stakeholders, ensuring we had the right resources at our fingertips. Their well-structured events and feedback sessions were tailored to our specific needs, allowing us to address potential challenges head-on and pivot strategically.

Swissnex in China was instrumental throughout the process. They helped us connect with local lawyers familiar with the regulations for foreign businesses entering China and facilitated conversations with cloud service providers to address our technical questions. Swissnex also accompanied us throughout the trip, facilitating smooth communication, helping with travel, and providing valuable cultural insights. Their support made the whole experience much easier and more productive.

We knew China was one of the largest markets for our product, alongside Europe and the US. We had some understanding of the market and knew that there was interest from several distributors. This trip is to understand the market, how to work with distributors, and what strategy to adopt. Swissnex has been very supportive. In the US, they connected us with various resources, such as IP lawyers and business advisors. Here, it’s a similar support, but with a focus on understanding the local environment and market.

We see China as a strategic location for both market research and production. The Chinese market is vast, and there’s a growing interest in chemical-free products. Additionally, moving production to China allows us to reduce costs and maintain quality control over the manufacturing process.

"The approach by Swissnex in China is spot on. The support is personalized. Among all, you benefit from the strong matchmaking skills of Tia, Swissnex Startup Manager. It translated into fruitful one-to-one meetings. We got many insights from three key opinion leaders working in local hospitals, from a local startup facing the same challenges as us, and from several service providers. Most importantly, we established the groundwork for a potential licensing agreement with a leading Chinese company from our industry, which was our main goal. High five to Tia & Swissnex in China!"

Dr. Régis Gauderon CEO Flowbone

“Our experience with Tech G 2023 was truely exceptional. We made interesting connections with high potential, which are not only the service providers but also some of the end users of the technology. The Swissnex in China team played a crucial role in facilitating our attendance, providing us with both resources and guidance to make the most of the event.”
