Startup Pitch Night
Prepare to be inspired as four innovative startups redefine what’s possible with AI and robotics—an experience you won’t miss: Meet some of the most promising Robotics startups from Switzerland for a pitch event on Tuesday, February 11, 2025!
The four startups pitching are participating in the Swissnex Startup Bootcamp, powered by Innosuisse:
Hydromea develops innovative underwater robotics and wireless communication systems for cost-effective and eco-friendly inspection of submerged assets. Their technology serves industries like energy, offshore wind, and marine research.
Bionomous produces the EggSorter, an instrument that automates the sorting and screening of small biological entities like fish embryos and seeds. Their technology streamlines research and industrial processes, replacing manual work with faster and more accurate automated solutions.
Mimic Robotics creates AI-driven robotic hands that automate complex tasks in logistics, retail, and food preparation. Their robots quickly learn tasks from human demonstrations, offering a scalable solution to labor shortages and improving operational efficiency.
AICA designs robotics software that allows industrial robots to adapt to changing environments in real time, improving precision and efficiency. Their visual programming tools make it easier for industries and researchers to automate complex tasks without deep technical expertise.
