Four companies awarded with the CTI Start-up Label

20.09.2011

The start-ups LS Instruments, RedElec Technologie, regenHU and swisstom have the potential for sustainable success. This is acknowledged by the CTI Start-up label.

Companies awarded with the CTI Start-up Label are successful. Since CTI Start-up initiated coaching in 1996, over 243 companies with the CTI Start-up Label created over 3'500 new jobs. Of these label companies over 85% are still active in business. It is not by chance that the companies succeed. They receive the label at the end of a process of three phases, in which over forty experienced coaches guide start-up companies on their way to enter the market successfully and attract financing.

This means good chances for the four new companies with the start-up label:

LS Instruments: The company from Fribourg designs robust, user-friendly instrumentation based on light scattering technologies. Backbone of LS Instruments is a product line for the characterization of nano particles.

RedElec: The spin-off of ETH Zurich develops and markets a new electrochemical technology allowing redox transformations (reduction or oxidation) at best economical and environmental cost, directly on the production site. The first application is a step in the dyeing process of cotton.

regenHU: The company provides novel bio-manufacturing technologies to create new opportunities in the emerging Medtech field of Tissue Engineering. One important example is three-dimensional bio-printing for the creation of organotypic in-vitro models of soft and hard tissues.

Swisstom: The start-up that closed a first financing round in August develops innovative medical devices to monitor the lung and heart function of patients in intensive care units and during general anesthesia.
