Former Mini-Enterprises Present Themselves at the Startup Nights

For the first time, YES took part in the Startup Nights in Winterthur with its own stands. And that’s not all. Three former mini-enterprises from the Company Programme, Trackable, Helvic and Aacho, were also there and were able to present and sell their products at a stand.

What are the Startup Nights?

At the Startup Nights, Switzerland’s startup network meets in Winterthur. Entrepreneurs, investors and potential partners come together. While many have their own stand, it is also possible to take part in exciting workshops and Pitch Competitions. The perfect place for mini-enterprises to grow and for YES to make contacts.

Taking part in the Startup Nights gave the young enterprises the opportunity to present their business ideas to a wide audience, meet new people and thus become visible in the Swiss startup network. The development of these enterprises shows how business ideas from school days continue beyond the Company Programme and how the enthusiasm for entrepreneurship endures.

As part of the Startup Nights, the new YES Alumni Enterprises initiative was also launched. The platform is aimed at former participants of the Company Programme who are continuing their entrepreneurial journey after completing the programme and need concrete support. The aim is to support the further development of young enterprises.
